Deep Thinking

The most important conclusion is not found near the competition dot, but what comes after it, on that long line into eternity. We never go back to the way it was before. No matter how many people are worried about jobs, or the social structure, or killer machines, we can never go back. It’s against human progress and against human nature. Once tasks can be done better (cheaper, faster, safer) by machines, humans will only ever do them again for recreation or during power outages. Once technology enables us to do certain things, we never give them up. (Location 3963)
