Wouldn't you rather chill out and learn something of value about these issues when you watch this video of Margaret Mead debating Herman Kahn? Hell, I've seen it a dozen times, and I still think it's relevant. Apropos of nothing at all, here's a quote from Kahn's 1976 Futurist masterpiece The Next 200 Years: A Scenario for America and the World:
> "[We live in] a structural society which emphasizes organizational and professional pluralism in the distribution of power and prestige. Knowledge rather than experience becomes the major asset and there is the increasing problem of 'educated incapacity'. By 'educated incapacity' we mean an acquired or learned inability to understand or see a problem, much less a solution. Increasingly, the more expert, or at least the more educated, a person is, the more likely he is to be affected by this."
TL;DR: Fuck yeah, Herman Kahn. If you don't know about him, watch this.
