You know how to buy enough bricks for your herringbone sidewalk because somebody figured out a long time ago, building upon earlier discoveries like how to count and language, and then used consciousness, language and intelligence to teach that insight to others. Why would we defeat the very mechanism that brought about civilizatio...
