Something came up in chat earlier that I found intriguing. I'll sum it up as follows:
What are your thoughts?
Is the modern world so complicated that we're evolving our own techno-mythology to help us explain and understand the more complicated parts? A lot of the things we encounter in our every day lives are complicated enough that it's not practically possible for a single individual to understand everything that goes on around us. Most people don't even bother, or need, to know - they've got better things to do.
When something breaks you'll just blame lag, bankers, hackers, politicians, conspiracy theories, foreigners, the youth of today, popular culture or whatever else suits your fancy, without really thinking about it.
Kind of like back in the day when farmers blamed bad things on witches or goblins or the gods.
What are your thoughts?
