@Gargron I think many are tiresome but others timeless and hit current events on the nose. Brief helps. I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder. Regarding, say, Elon Musk and others: “There is a race between mankind and the universe. Mankind is trying to build bigger, better, faster, and more foolproof machines. The universe is trying to build bigger, better, and faster fools. So far the universe is winning.”- Albert Einstein (an actual genius)
