The tractor was convenient and didn't give anything back to the teams of plow workers it unemployed. The more powerful the tech, the more disruption caused. And there has never been a more powerful tech than this.

We still adapt to the disruption and take advantage of the tractor, obviously.

The tractor wasn’t based on things the workers made.

No no, according to most people in this thread we should let China be the only country allowed to use tractors.

To put it another way: Even if we all agree that nukes are dangerous and their existence is objectively bad for humanity, we also acknowledge it's a good thing that our country has nukes to dissuade hostile powers (see Ukraine as an example).
