This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

Aren't we that fish guy?

As they say, “baby steps.”

Greedy shitstains, as you called them, having been doing this kind of thing for all of recorded history. I'd bet any amount of money that they were doing it before we knew how to write it down too. Modern technology has very little to do with it.

It would have just climbed right back out.
