Ahh true, ROW has the 7000 years on the brain lol. I still think my point stands though

I think its worth noting that roshar is a bit of a special case. For thousands of years any technological advancement roshar made seemed to be wiped out with the desolations. Think about how much farther they would be as a society if that was never an issue. However, I think because of the Heralds and the nature of humans some of that advancement persisted through the desolations. Also its worth noting that they have had 7000 years since the recreance to make advancement. Compare that to our own timeline and they seem relatively behind the curve. I think its definitely plausible that they're ahead in some areas and behind in others.

I think this is what Brandon is hinting at when Raboniel is talking about the original humans from Ashyn. She mentioned they had burns covering them and the animals would scream in pain. It seems reminiscent of radiation burns to me. I think the original humans nuked their world with unbound surgebinding.

Hmm, I could see Wayne wandering somewhere he shouldn't be, grabbing some mythical artifact for a "trade" and then combusting because he pissed off the wrong person.

Hello everyone! I have recently finished my initial read of the entire cosmere and I am about to jump back into a stormlight re-read before RoW. I have spent alot of time on the cosmere subreddit but figured I would come check out the actual forums. Happy to be here and can't wait to spend hours reading your theories!
