Exactly. Including the linguistics guy who was responsible for finding him. His essay or manifesto talked about how technology will continue to turn us into trained monkeys, but not in those words. He used the traffic light for an example. If you are at a traffic light late at night and no one is around and there is no traffic, we are still trained to sit there until it turns green. Which made me feel like I am not a trained monkey, because I will run a fricking red light in a situation when no cops are around and I can clearly see no one is coming.
