Tide goes in, tide goes out. Im low key of the opinion that these tools enhance existing attributes while displacing the advantages of unearned social or financial power.

So in the short term the tide might go out but then it might tsunami back.

Same goes for this terrifying political feeling around the world. Might simply be a boomer swansong and the reaction might snap back.

Success has nothing to do with intelligence. Similarly failing has nothing to do with stupidity.
