alt Hacker NewsNo? Calling them advanced is one thing (because it was advanced up to their elimination/dispersion), saying it rivals modern materials science is ridiculous, and is a statement that appeals to the people that buy crystals for their "healing energy". The peoples born of the America's do not benefit from Burning Man-type bullshit.

You demonstrate an overextrapolated idea of current cultural events, suggesting ignorance and also shallow dismissiveness.

Or to put it more nicely, knowing how to make something is not knowing the fundamental science behind the thing.
Romans made self-healing cement without any knowledge of chemistry and materials science. Surgeons performed tumor removals without knowing why they formed. Etc.
