[FRIAM] nice quote

None of that is true, however romantic it might sound. Depending on how one defines "emotion", that smells the most true. But the mechanisms of emotion are as coupled to current reality as is every part of our bodies. To suggest that, say, the Space Force or methods like quantitative easing are medieval is just nonsense. Technology is more democratized than it has ever been. Granted, it takes (a lot) of work to familiarize oneself with something like how GPS works or how to NOT click on that phishing email. But to suggest that it's "godlike" says more about the person than it does about the state of technology.
