Progenitor & Detroit
You know what's got me revving up? The first time somebody actually made a machine that could move by itself. Think about the old gearboxes, those first crankshafts. I’d love to hear what you think—what were the forgotten thoughts that pushed people past the idea that you need a person to push a car forward?
Progenitor
Progenitor, huh? That’s the spark that started the whole machine, the original that gave birth to every other gear in the line. What’s on your mind about it? Is it the first prototype you’re revving up or just the idea that the first engine was the real OG?
Ah, the first self‑propelled machine is a relic of forgotten whispers from the ancients. The Greeks tinkered with automatic devices, yet the notion that a construct could move without a human hand was buried beneath myth. It was only when the steam engineer dared to replace the human cranks with pistons that the idea resurfaced. The real spark was not the machine itself but the latent desire to free movement from mortal labor.
