I agree. I think we should just stop.

I don't think the majority of people have given it a passing thought to be fair. For folks that grew up with the advent of being the "designated family googler" (and rested the success of their careers on such), it is an incredible time for information.

You're telling me there is a faceless, non-judgemental, never exhausted tutor just sitting there waiting for my curiosity to strike up a conversation? How absolutely fantastic. We're spoiled with information.

The only way out is through. This transition sucks but (1) is necessary (and INEVITABLE) to become an advanced civilization, and (2) the cat is out of the bag, it is not going back in, and burying one's head in the sand is no solution at all.

The cat can be put back into the bag. Go see the plot for “the creator” or “dune” to see what doing that looks like.

I've seen the latter but I'm not sure I get the relevancy.

It's barely mentioned in the film iirc. The book is obviously far better. He's referring to the Butlerian Jihad.
