What's happening is the verbal/linguistic equivalent of the invention of calculus. No intellectual field will ever be the same again. Who wouldn't find that exciting, and want to experience it?

People who enjoy thinking. Ya know, the "intellectual" part.

Why would having more thinking companions stop you from thinking? Knowledge compounds.

This is the beginning of thinking, not the end...

The so called "progressives" prove that they were the same ones crying after the printing press, automobile, calculator, washing machine, etc

You made up a group in the past and you made up things they say and then draw the inference that a different group in the present is somehow morally disadvantaged by obvious inference.

Perhaps your name-calling is not actually as logically grounded as you think. It definitely seems to depend on unfounded leaps.

I'm not sure I grasp the analogy to the invention of calculus. Calculus helped us solve new and interesting math/physics problems. Repeated for emphasis: helped *us* solve.

This technology is solving interesting math/physics problems for us, which is completely different.
