A couple of weeks ago, I asked google, ordinary google search, how many times the letter r is found in preferred, and it told me 2. This century has taken quite a bitter turn against those of us who think that the 'enough' in 'good enough' ought to exclude products indistinguishable from the most grievously disgraceful products of sloth. But I have also lately realized that human beings, brains, society, culture, education, technology, computers, etc, are all extremely complicated emergent properties of a universe that is far beyond our understanding. And we ought not to complain too seriously, because this, too, shall pass.

The generation leading this world has all the weapons the previous generation built at their disposal and none of the discipline or education to wield them responsibly. This too shall pass, but how it passes will be interesting to see.

You could say that about any two adjacent generations. Nuclear weapons are already 3 generations ago.
