Humans think they are so smart. They invent. They complexify. It feeds
the economy by producing SNS and fake food and all the misery that
follows from that. Now we rely on technologies that can in an instant
wipe out huge chunks of human history. Since we have rarely learned from
history in the first place, perhaps that will not be much of a loss . .
