Time has a marvelous ability to render the absurd familiar. Mankind can harvest vast energy from the basic stuff of matter, using means that only people with considerable higher education can even describe accurately. But nobody’s taken aback by this fact because, welp, they’ve been doing that shit since your grandpa’s time. Humans can fly! We cured smallpox! You can talk to anyone on the planet instantaneously! These facts are insane when you think about them, but nobody does because we’re used to them. (My favorite Louis C.K. bit deals with this phenomenon, but I digress.)
