#1539: Planning explain

[Megan and Ponytail are walking]

Ponytail: Why are people so comfortable handing Google and Facebook all this control over our lives?

Megan: I dunno.

Megan: Our species built thousands of nuclear weapons, scattered them around the planet, and then moved on to other things.

Megan: Maybe it’s best to accept that some of this big-picture planning is just happening on autopilot.
