wow, this makes you wonder if there is something fundamental about science/physics/mathematics that we are missing. if these people's culture can survive for such a long time without something as basic in our society as the most rudimentary math... perhaps there is something that there is something equally revolutionary that is right under our noses every single day?

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
