Huh. Funny, my knowledge is still there after supposedly being "robbed," just like Walt Disney's movies and J. K. Rowling's books and Bill Gates's software and Lars Ulrich's music.

And "further human development" is exactly what's happening. We've just found the entrance to the next level. Our brains have gone about as far as they can on their own, just as our muscles did in the pre-industrial era. It's time to craft some new tools.
