Intelligent bots manage the growth of knowledge and dream of saving our souls. Flash mobs clash on streets and paradigms fight on screens. Which politicians to trust and which scientists to believe? The Ghanaian president Nana Akufo-Addo declared the year 2019 The Year of Return for the descendants of the black Africans sold as slaves. No social media. The Polish “Solidarity” messaged the working class under the communists in 1981. No media. No expert authorities. Experts enjoyed authority after the successful production of the nuclear bomb in 1945. The pandemic plague after 2020 wiped the best and the brightest experts out. To vax or not to vax remains a painfully open question. Elon Musk joins the Royal Academy. Clouds of knowledge accumulate. This book explains why different drummers emerge. Readers are encouraged to ask if the intelligent designs differ from the evolution guessed by the blind watchmakers.
