Thankfully, YouTube is more accessible than searching for the 3-year-old needle in a haystack. :)

It's wild how many things we can learn to do quickly these days - things that used to seem like incredible feats of human achievement.

Nope! I was, of course, wowed by the idea of solving a Rubik's Cube back in the 80s, though. There was a time when human intellectual achievement was just viewed as the be-all, end-all of thought. It wasn't terribly long ago in the grand scheme of things, but the world has really changed since then.

Like seriously, these people had sorcery-level secret knowledge.
