Those beavers, btw, don't need any Hoover, so I think we'd have to withhold judgement until such time as they do.Sure Beavers don't NEED the hoover dam. But we don't NEED self driving cars. We used to have horses for that and we got by fine.
Our creativity does hit a brick wall, then we study the brick wall. We'll study it for thousands of years if necessary. Until we make that wall obsolete. We have the super power to work as a team with those who are no longer with us and those who aren't with us yet to solve ALL of our problems.
Now you don't have to worry about Zeus striking you down. That's Obama's job. Don't worry about hexes, you should worry about contracts that will haunt you the rest of your life. Who needs rain dances when you can twist a handle to make your bathroom rain.
Our creative ability to record, collect and build knowledge is a true deus-ex machina.
