It's "not very good" not because people are this or that, but because... it isn't very good yet: which means it needs to get better.

That's exactly what inventing is about: making (existing) things better, until they're so much better, they become a different thing altogether.

Denying reality is for daydreaming; it will not get anything invented. Sufficiently advanced technology may be indistinguishable from magic, but it isn't actually magic.
