Its all about building ontop of the law of adjacent possibilities, which end up becoming an S tier for progress. Of course it started out slow.

Everything we do is built on top of something else. We needed to build a society capable of supporting industry and learning, then written language, mathematics etc.

Once you have the building blocks of society, everything else comes much faster.
