Sometimes, in deep discussions...people ask what I think is the
principal tool that enabled modern civilization to arise...
(fire? the bow? advanced agricultural methods? nuclear energy?)

there would BE no modern society without it.
(No accounting....no accountability....the wheels rapidly come off
ANYTHING resembling the modern world.)
And we have two high priestesses of this vitally essential art right here.
Do we roll in riches here at SR or WHAT!
