not what you said: "Most humans cannot fathom all the information out there"
- vouaobrasil 3y agoWith regard to what I said, I admit I misread your comment a little. But to be clear: what I MEANT was that in ancient times, people basically understood all they NEEDED to understand. What they didn't understand was irrelevant. Nowadays, people NEED to understand complex, useless shit and it's hard to understand it.
- zabzonk 3y agoi completely disagree - for example, it is much easier to use a computer now (phone/microwave/car) than it was to use one 40 years ago (and yes, i was using computers back then).
- vouaobrasil 3y agoThe TOOLS we need to make ourselves integrated as cogs in the machine are easier, yes, but the whole operating of society (like how the economy works, etc.) is much harder. Of course, the tools to become an automaton are much easier to use...which is expected.
