"fake thoughts"

"fake emotions"

"fake ideas"

"fake attractions"

I imagine the Luddites were themselves angry about fake work and fake souls. We did okay though.

Humans will cope [1]. We are resilient as fuck. We once had to fend off lions and bacterial infections and getting throttled in the night. Now we worry about lattes, stock prices, and political hullabaloo. We'll be fine.

Luddites were executed or deported [0] though.
