"One wonders how different things might have been if the Europeans tried to learn from the Incas rather than conquer them."

If the Incas were so great, why didn't they conquer the Europeans?

They didn’t feel they needed to. They were happy with what they had and didn’t need to go take from others across seas.

They knew about other lands and have stories about it, and they could float on water fine, but just didn’t have a need.

Because they were so peaceful and trusting. Just ask those other tribes they conquered and enslaved.
