This is a brilliant site. This is hubris city. Oh why did we ever stop developing technology in the vein of brute force? The finesse of today’s “information age” does not impress me. I’m sorry but a Tomahawk missile is not as cool as a cannon that will fire a projectile the size of a small car some 40 miles. Oh! Give me the days of missing fingers and botulism! Of steam powered machines with nicknames like “widow-maker” and “mangler”.
