How about the invention of private property, self-determination and free enterprise then? That stimulated and enabled the vast continuous realm of invention and productions. < Nikola Tesla. His invention of the AC system made possible our Western Civilization. >

Private property, self determination, and free enterprise are quite recent and special inventions which turned loose and leveraged Ayn Rand's "Men of the mind". Nearly all of human life has been ugly tribalism with no individualism, no private property to speak of [other than a pot or something], and no free enterprise other than to keep herding goats or baking bread. Islam specifically expects individuals to be subsumed in the cult. As do cults like Jim Jones, Bert Potter, Waco, etc. And even in organisations where invention is supposedly promoted, it often takes a skunk works to sneak good stuff past the ignorant bossy people.
