I think we're probably all at least a little nuts and don't have a clue to what to assign our success. Despite all these riches we'd rather kill one another than live a life of comfort. Screw immortality when there are enemies to kill. No one will be truly happy until everyone else is dead.
What do you assign your success to?
I have too little success to speak of but I assign the success of man kind to language. Every advancement is related to language and it was speech that really launched us on the path we're on. Writing accelerated it and the printing press put in in hyper drive. The computer will destroy us due to the velocity of advancement if we don't get a hold of our superstitions.
