If you’re fine with a future like Warhammer 40k where we all have to be Tech Priests making prayers and performing opaque rituals to get things out of the machine god because we no longer understand things, that’s fine, but that’s not a future the rest of us want.

It’s not a matter of what we want or don’t want, or are fine with. The universe doesn’t owe us explanations. Of course I’d prefer to understand everything, or as much as possible, but we don’t always get what we want.

The problem is that you cant stop it. If there is a wrong way to do something, then someone will do it. Thankfully we understand almost nothing already so it will be easy to adapt - and surrender to the will of the machine.
