The lesson of the Tower of Babel is even more than that. It’s about not lifting your expectations, not assuming ideas above your station, staying in your assigned lane in life even if you hate it. What you see here is the “divine punishment” for that.
I’ve always loathed the “lessons” of things like that as well as the anti-Promethean instinct in so many individuals.
Fuuuuuck that noise.
I can identify so much more with the likes of Stewart Brand:
"We are as gods and might as well get good at it. "
Fuck all that lowly self-defeatist bullshit.
Did I watch Cosmos at a very impressionable age as well as Star Trek? You bet I did.
