How dumb has our society become? Or has it always been this dumb?

The "question" was mainly rhetorical. Clarke's creatures had a lot of evolving to do to get to Neanderthal status btw. My point, of course, is that the more advanced society becomes technologically and in many other ways, it seems to cling to magic and the extra-normal to explain simple and logical phenomena.
JRandom's comment about witches captured the idea well. Deep down in all of us is a terrified primitive creature hoping there really is a Wizard behind that curtain or a celestial apparition that will relieve us of the fear and reality of being merely human.

You do realize that you'll have to burn at the stake for that. ;),

Non-witches float; I sank. Now I’m dead are you still gonna’ burn me at the stake?
To: Bernard Marx
I hear ya.
The object has a lava-like appearance and also that of a large pipe and a hugh cap on top.. the slots and ‘gouged’ more like grooved areas do have a manufactured look.. or it could be a gateway to Hell. :-}
speaking of magic and preservation of spirit..
My favorite kid show btw

What? You expect sense and logic? When dealing with humans, rationality is an add-on option. ;)
If I recall correctly, at one point, a court in France ruled in a lawsuit against locusts. The locusts did not recognize the court's jurisdiction. Crazy stuff, and some of it still happens.

It’s incredibly dumb. We have TV shows about TV shows. Won’t be long before we have TV shows about TV shows about TV shows.

The closest thing to an answer that I could quickly find was a
remark in space.com saying it was from a site where the rover "Sprit spent the closing months of 2007" ( sic ) so I consulted the
Mars Rover Spirit: Traverse Map Archive and found that this was sometime just before sol ( Martian day ) 1406 of the mission. Then I worked backward from this date in the
Spirit Raw Image archive for the panorama camera, and found that the
image ( included below - "figure" is bottom left ) was taken on sol 1367. There of several of these taken through color filters to make the color images. Note you can see the bottom edge of this raw image in the posted color panorama image, as indicated by a slight change of tone. The portion below it is from sol 1368, and
these are really much more interesting.
I think it's pretty easy to see that the "figure" is just the fractured face of a sculpted rock, the top of which blends into the background. It does not resemble a statuette, as it might appear to.

The locusts did not recognize the court's jurisdiction. Crazy stuff, and some of it still happens. It sure does. Wasn't it a recent hopey-changey Presidential candidate who promised he'd stop the seas from rising and heal all of Earth's "wounds?" Or was that King Canute?
To: dr_lew
Yeh — that black and white photo does clarify the firure as a fractured rock. Thank You.

That picture proves that Bigfoot is really a Martian. I knew it!
