Hi @surpassinggoogle ,Thanks for sharing, when reading, this part catches my attention ,I think it's excellent analysis and I totally agree with what you say here.
Techs overall, need 'down-to-earth innovations' and 'the application of down-to-earth paradigms' to find balance. Note that 'the know-how for things that are down-to-earth' aren't covered in 'the books'.
Blessings
