Excellent video. We have the tech and skill to reconstruct reality, at the same time we do not possess the skill to let reason rule critical parts of our (here: Beirut's) infrastructure.

As humankind, we are probably closer than ever to hassle free life and we will nevertheless go down skirmishing and fighting.

As William Gibson puts it, the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.

The event itself is rather Gibsonian, isn't it?

Kudos to the team that put together this video, it is extremely well done.

It's hard to lump this kind of excellence into a "we."

"We" Albert Einstein are prodigies. "We" anti-vax are very far from the other end of "we"
