Facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented.

The very comprehensibility of the world points to an intelligence behind the world. Indeed, science would be impossible if our intelligence were not adapted to the intelligibility of the world.

Indeed, meat-puppet robots are just fine as the output of a Darwinian evolutionary process.
