I tweeted the following on April 2nd, 2019, about one month before deleting my account:

Our technology is evolving faster than we are. We have built ourselves a twenty-first century library when we possess stone-age critical thinking skills. What did we think was going to happen?

I later learned that Dr. E.O. Wilson once made a similar point, in a statement often quoted by the Center for Humane Technology:

The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology.

His version may be better than mine. I'm just glad I'm not alone.
