I love the hubris.

Humans aren't evolved to process that much change, says a man who grew up in the 20th century. At the start war was just a scrap in a field, the most advanced piece of technology was an x-ray machine, and a major airport was a relatively flat piece of grass made for gliders made out of wood and canvas, by the end we'd had two world wars and one cold war, computers were everywhere, we had MRI machines and satellites and even a space station in orbit, and there are millions of flights a day on jet liners.

Yeah, no other human has ever lived through so much change.
