Technology in the 1960s: We did it! We finally manufactured the first oral Polio vaccine, humankind will no longer suffer at the auspices of unjust biology.
Technology in the 2020s: What irks me about the Antichrist is that it's too deeply mired in magical heuristics, not enough Gog and Magog, if you catch my drift. This is why I need you to invest in my killer drone company. Okay?
