So yeah, the Clever Monkeys find there is a limit to their cleverness. Or maybe their cleverness, which for a long time was an asset in their pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, can in the end turn out to be a liability that actually constrains life, liberty and happiness.
Let's call it The Cleverness Conundrum! Or as my own personal Obi Wan Kenobi used to tell me: "It's the Law of Diminishing Returns!"
And in the midst of the Great Diminishing, the people get freakier and freakier, and grumpier and crazier too. And all kinds of weird things can be unleashed: meltdowns and world wars and lots of crazy ass shit.
Where's Freud when you need him?! (Sometimes a Cigar is not a Cigar!)
