        Perhaps this is what the great filter is. Any species that’s intelligent, but isn’t a hivemind; dies out via the stupidity of the collective – sure, you can have accumulated knowledge, but if half (being extremely generous in our case) of your entire species is made up of drooling fucking morons that will actively drag the rest of you down, what good is it?

      Ban rulers, speedometers, fuel gauges and pressure sensors! Cook meat on a gut feeling! Destroy all cups! Long dresses for all so we can’t see feet! YAAARGH!

        Cook meat on a gut feeling!

        Anyone who needs a thermometer to cook meat is either a minimum-wage flunky who can’t find their ass with both hands and a map, or shouldn’t be cooking meat at all.

      That’s why no more weather service. If you can’t see the F5 Hurricane barrelling down on you it doesn’t exist.
