I'm very suspicious about this reality.  Like I should have listened to that old guy back in the early 70's, he said that he was getting a Masters in chemistry, we were standing around one evening (I don't remember why), and he told me that the country's problems wouldn't be solved by technology but through politics because the political system was so corrupt and getting worse, and ... genius that I am ... I ignored him, thinking I would be this hot shit scientist that would create a better world.

And here we are.  And he was right.  And I was wrong to have ignored him.  My bad!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
