  2. As Charles Fort noted:

    It's steam engines when it's steam engine time

    People use the predominant zeitgeist as a model to understand everything.
    In Victorian times, we had steam engines and the blind watchmaker. In the 1910's everything was electricity this and xyz-rays that. Today it's all digitalizamizated technomolology and iPhones.

    That and these billionaires think their smarts in one realm of knowledge make them experts in everything everywhere all the time.
