We had technical know-how. Past tense. Then technology became evil incarnate.

Nowadays we are scared of everything, ignorant of any kind of science. All policy and all public outrage is purely based on ideology and wishful thinking. If one kind of wishful thinking fails, we do not reconsider, we double down or replace by another, even weirder kind of wishful thinking.

Basically, we are back to a pre-renaissance way of thinking. We are back in the dark ages.

And I'm honestly scared of that.
