T-Rex: We've been writing books for thousands of years! We've had THOUSANDS of years to perfect writing a book.
T-Rex: Therefore, the books we have today are the peak of the art!
T-Rex: But then I go into a bookstore and there are books called "Pooping: What Happened??" and I think maybe the peak of Mount Book isn't that high after all. But we've only been making video games for a few decades! THEREFORE, video games thousands of years from now are going to be literally insane. You will go insane at how good these games are, Dromiceiomimus.
Dromiceiomimus: I look forward to it.
T-Rex: As do I.
Utahraptor: But every book is written by someone who died AT MOST 100 years later!
T-Rex: Whatever, man!
Utahraptor: My point is that books haven't had constant, directed development: rather, every author starts almost from scratch! And that's AFTER we waste our early years learning what a word even is. A metaphor: we're running a 10k race, and all we do is stumble around in those first 100 meters and then DIE.
God: UM IF I'VE DONE THE MATH IN THAT METAPHOR CORRECTLY THE RACE IS ACTUALLY 10,000KM LONG
T-Rex: ...
T-Rex: Alright! I'm gonna go lie down and stare at the ceiling for a few hours, peace out everyone
