I find it amusing that you always speak in terms of technology. It's clear that it's because you have so little grasp of science. And "secular logic"? Here again you think that the religious get to operate under their own little made up laws. If you step out in front of a moving train, you'll find out that physics is neither religious nor secular, but you won't have much time to think about it. That's okay, thinking is *not* your personal superpower. But really, don't stand in front of that train. Take the advice of someone whose life is meaningless and yet very happy not to be saddled with the "meaning" of ancient peoples who represent an early and far more ignorant stage of our development, long since superseded.
You, of course, are welcome to return to the makeshift shelter of primitive cultures but you should surrender your internet connection and your computer as works of the secular devils. Otherwise we will corrupt you and take away from you your most precious possession, the virginity of your brain preserved from the darkness and pollution of cognition and analysis.
Nothing to add to this excellent remark other than a reminder to Little Nip that he has Alan Turing to thank for the development of his computer.
one turns to sex, entertainment, drink, and drugs to fill the void
I thought I turned to physics but ok. You might want to stop projecting Little Nip, it reveals a hidden, unsavory envy.
Kolob’s set time is “one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest” (Abraham 3:4). I take this as a round number. - Gee

So we know that "sex, entertainment, drink and drugs" are clearly one of his options. Little Nip is not prepared to consider the alternative of education, adaptation and personal growth. That would violate the C. S. Lewis-y forced simplicity of the choices.
Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bombe method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. Turing played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic; it has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over fourteen million lives.
After the war, he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he designed the ACE, among the first designs for a stored-program computer. In 1948 Turing joined Max Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory at the Victoria University of Manchester, where he helped develop the Manchester computers and became interested in mathematical biology. He wrote a paper on the chemical basis of morphogenesis, and predicted oscillating chemical reactions such as the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, first observed in the 1960s.
Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts, when by the Labouchere Amendment, "gross indecency" was still criminal in the UK. He accepted chemical castration treatment, with DES, as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as suicide, but it has been noted that the known evidence is also consistent with accidental poisoning. In 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated." Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon in 2013.
Choyo Chagas is Chairman of the Big Four, the ruler of the planet from "The Bull's Hour" ( Russian: Час Быка), a social science fiction novel written by Soviet author and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov in 1968. Six months after its publication Soviet authorities banned the book and attempted to remove it from libraries and bookshops.
I thought Society had sunk so low because of their belief in God. All they had to go on was we don't know but God Did It. Little did they know but that doesn't explain anything to them about anything. Galileo in that regard was the savior of humanity for getting us to use our brains again.

No one should except Jesus. And that is why we ALL need the SAVIOR. For ALL have sinned and come short of GOD's glory! The wages of SIN is DEATH, but the gift of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord.
But really, don't stand in front of that train. Take the advice of someone whose life is meaningless and yet very happy not to be saddled with the "meaning" of ancient peoples who represent an early and far more ignorant stage of our development, long since superseded.
