Tijd voor een rubriek "motoren"op dit forum.

(...) Ik zie op alle vlakken dat 'wij mensen' graag voor gemakkelijke route kiezen:

- AI wint van zélf nadenken en zelf schrijven
- De e-bike wint van de fiets
- Netflix wint van boeken lezen; sociale media winnen van vrijwel alles.

Na 34 jaar nog steeds actueel, Roger Waters:

We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We ohhed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Grouped 'round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry
No feelings left
This species has
Amused itself to death
