    History doesn’t repeat, but often rhymes. Twain’s quote better includes the effects of new technologies popping up all the time since the Renaissance, and sending things in odd, slanting directions sometimes.

    Cheers though, I definitely agree we will need all sorts of people and methods. Just because in order to reach certain people, you have to be a certain sort sometimes. With enough perspectives and talents coming from the more cross-disciplinary approaches becoming more common, maybe we get outta this. Worth a shot anyway.

    I mean, we did just find a new way to evaporate water. No small feat, people watched that process right in front of their faces for thousands of years. Just lacked the tools to see it.
