Where Our Civilization Stands Now

.

The great John Linwood Grant recently posted this piece of nonsense:

which I reposted on Facebook. Karl Johanson responded to my post with the above video. That's Karl and I as we were 30 years ago.

So this is where we, as a civilization, are now. Either Karl travelled back in time 30 years to present me with a porcupine--to demonstrate that he has admired my work for a long time--or this is an AI fake.

One can no longer believe anything we see. I had to actually think for a moment, did Karl ever present me with a procupine? Pretty sure he did not.
