The Haber-Bosch method was used for war, to expand "lebensraum" as land was used for primary energy. Therefore agrarian land was a primary constraint of empire which morphed into cultural assumptions about expansion.

They could not imagine that the Haber-Bosch process made land grabs practically obsolete for the expansion of primary energy. Culture did not catch up.

Same is happening with AI now. Assumptions about labor, identity, etc, leading to strange "solutions" due to culture not catching up.
