Any perusal of political postings on Facebook is a textbook example of this quote. Strip away the multitude of individual cognitive biases and very little of substance remains. That is why I stay clear of commenting on most. Hard to wrestle hot air. In our post literate society any political position that doesn't fit into a meme isn't going to cut it. We just had a presidential election between two candidates who were incapable of speaking a complete sentence that could be diagrammed in basic English. 

It seems the very things that make us human are the things that will doom us in the end. That is one of the reasons I believe AI may be the next step in evolution. We will become their amoeba, the spark that ignited a nonbiologically based evolution. Biologically based life forms are too inefficient, poop and pee too much, and can only survive within very limited environmental perimeters. 

To paraphrase Hendrix: "Move it on over, Rover, and let AI take over."
