RE: 'don't trust themselves'...thank you for reply....

My sense is that believing that humanity is something especially noble that machines can/will infect with their...well inhumanity (of course they can but they needn't) is a form of superstition. Humanism has replaced religion for some, attaching a spirituality to us that, for example, dogs and proposes are supposed to lack. Not to make too big a deal of this, it's mainly just sentimentality. We needn't become or be replaced by our tools, though I'll concede some of us are more susceptible to that than others. All I'm saying is if and where that happens, God is not dying again. I've not heard superstition applied to Luddites before either but that's what it feels like to me. I like it. I also prefer books to Kindles, paint brushes to sprayers, and still write my first drafts of reviews in pencil. I'm just sentimental: I don't attach any special spiritual value to book or writing stick,just prefer 'em. My nineteen-year-old doesn't share my sentiments, nor need he. etc.
