oh yes, the age of space travel is such a dark age.  :roll: [/quote]

This statement is quite illustrative, embodying the idea that technology cannot create darkness. Asinine.

I sure hope it’s a minor dark age. We’ve become unmoored from ethics, rule of law, and basic compassion. Ignorance and stupidity are celebrated. We’re in an anti-intellectual age of unreason, ruled by idiot-savant tech billionaires.

If AI ever does reach the point of singularity, we’re pretty likely to be wiped out.

Not at all sure it’s a minor dark age. I think we could have a cataclysmic event in the next 50 years that eliminates most humans. So do the technophiles, which is why they’re busy trying to find a way to populate space and constructing bunkers in New Zealand.[/quote]
 How many lawyers have f*up our society?  Do we really need more English majors cum lawyers in our world?

The advancement in technologies, like the industrial revolution, is what helped the lower/middle class.

BTW, I abhor Trump and MAGA.  But, I also think English majors think too highly of themselves.

Let's face it, most people who major in English need a graduate degree to get a decent paying job. That's fine, if that's what you want, but let's not pretend like English majors are all that.

And taxpayers shouldn't have to pay off your debt for you to naval gaze.  [/quote]
