Excuse for...?
Or, it explains why mutually-assured destruction is the only theory staving off our annihilation of the whole biosphere since 1953.
Or, it explains how a radio shock-jock and an airplane assassination can lead to 800 000 dead humans in one month in 1994.
Or, it explains how in one generation of humans we have gone from wireless telecommunications (1992) to web co-dependency (2022).
But, sure, let's turn the words of a world-renowned biologist and world-class humanist into a cheap political wedge.
Excuse for not using marxist analysis. Or any other analysis tbh.
Paleolitic emotions - we have much older ones too. Also pure "hoooman natur" argument.
Medieval institutions - ones newer that medieval like NATO or IMF are way bigger problem than anything that could survive since medieval. Also even the worst ones of those, like catholic church or British monarchy are not anymore the same medieval ones, all were changed by time.
God-Like technology - excuse me what? God-like as in burning some bush on desert or god-like like in creation of universe? Insufferable hyperbole and also wholesale condemnation of technology is unmarxist. Finally, it's not tech that is the problem, it's capitalism.
If someone want to write a slogan this banal, at least make it correct.
