There has never been such a thing as wholly self-directed advancement though, or even anything close to it; not since we swung down from the trees and became human beings. Change and advancement is almost always something we're pushed into, for the simple reason that people outside our countries are just as clever and smart as we are and there's a hell of a lot more of them. Hence most inventions, improvements and whatnot will always originate elsewhere.
