I saw this cartoon when I was about 12 or so and saved it for many years. It showed a computer installation of the time, a big room full of complex equipment, tended by white-coated technicians--the tangible products of the highest achievements of man's society and intellect. One of the technicians is gazing out the window though, where he sees a worker sawing a limb off a tree. The worker is perched on the limb that will be sawed-off.
Organized for smartness, we can be pretty smart. By ourselves, we can be pretty stupid.
And you really have to watch out for organized stupidity.
