The Pitchforks Are Coming…

Enlightenment Sandwich
Base human participation in the destiny of intelligent life has an expiration date.
We tend to assume that history produces a ratcheting in our level of understanding. That we are on a journey out of a Cro-Magnon Eden of blissful ignorance towards a state of enlightened nirvana. However a population with at least some individuals equipped with theories that explain their world might be a mere fleeting phase - so very Nineteenth Century.
Once technology produces artifacts beyond our capacity for comprehension we will enter a second dark age. These artifacts will be the product of genetic algorithms, simulated evolution or AIs out-thinking us.
The Renaissance, Enlightenment and the Modern age are likely bacon, lettuce and tomato, sandwiched between two thick slices of ignorance.
