Are you sure that is the disparity between what our technology is capable of and our own limitations as animals and not our perception of it? My grandparents lived most of their life under the menace of a nuclear holocaust, but when they were born the electric power system was still in infancy and they had no electricity whatsoever in their house. Going back centuries, the Ishtar Gate was built so that people arriving to Babilonia would be scared I think that we are more scared by what we don't know that by what we can't manage The world IS hard, but we're also very dumb We know smoking gives cancer, but we still smoke anyway. We know cars pollute the environment, but we ride them anyway. etc. etc. etc.
