It's disgusting that evil religions and mysticism still existed back in the 20th Century when I was born let alone know in the far distant future. Evil should not exist on Earth in the 21st Century. All religions must be wiped from existence immediately.

Great article. My stomach churns when I see posts from engineers claiming that the latest SpaceX or Bue Origin is "a miracle". I get that some of them just want to express their wonder and cannot think of a better word, but to conflate a supreme achievement of human knowledge with a mystical belief is tragic, it's the negation of the thought they are trying to express!
