Isn't that the main point of that cargo-cult metaphor as used today -
a restatement of Arthur C Clarke's technology and magic remark and how
we've let our own magic exceed our reason... that we're no longer at
the "height" of reason at all?
- surgical_fire 2y agoI think so, yes. I used the "height of our reason" phrase a bit ironically. There is quite a lot of things any person is unable to understand about our own word, and you can see how they handle those.
