Enlightenment was huge. And it gave us our current scientific methods, got rid of alchemy finally, and of course pushed for saner government. This is from wiki:
Characterized by an emphasis on reason, empirical evidence, and the scientific method, the Enlightenment promoted ideals of individual liberty, religious tolerance, progress, and natural rights . Its thinkers advocated for constitutional government, the separation of church and state , and the application of rational principles to social and political reform.[
Even the Industrial and Information Ages only took place in developed nations.
It’s kinda hard to say that “everyone” is behind a development when a significant portion of humanity still cooks over an open fire and doesn’t have indoor plumbing.
The idea of “developed nations” was only started as a way to target new markets for our industrial companies. I.e. growth had slowed to a point that they needed more places to sell our goods to, to make line go up.
And yet, you haven’t addressed the larger point. How can you say “everyone” is taking part in a new societal age if a large percentage of humanity is still agrarian and living nomadically?
I wasn’t trying to “address the larger point,” and I didn’t say the thing you’re demanding I defend. I was only making the point that developed nations are considered “developed” because they participated in the Industrial Revolution.
Look up The Enlightenment from about 1720 to 1800.

Yes, but it would be a stretch to say that “all” were into it. All educated people, perhaps. I doubt a random peasant knew much about it.
If you’re looking for something that every single person understands and participates in, you’ll be looking for a long long time.

Everyone understands and participates. Hopefully
Thanks for the fun thought excercise
No. Both suicides and accidental death in autoerotic-asphyxiation.

The Industrial Age defined what a developed nation is. To say that it only took place in developed nations is a tautology.

It’s utterly nonsensical.
