Morlocks and Eloi discussion again: the Eloi have their pre-digested clickbait content fed to them in a stream of thought-free celebrity drivel.

We're comfortably on the path to becoming Eloi who will trust everything the magic box does for us.

The comments are fascinating with some likening them to Well's Eloi and others commenting on parallel behavior in Britain.

That will let you split society into castes real fast: Eloi and Morlocks come to mind.

This allowed the capture of St Eloi by the British 41st Division.[20] This choice reduced the total explosive to 450 tonnes.

They might even post signs saying so, if only the Eloi could still read.

Wells) I wondered how the split between Eloi and Morlocks happened, and where in the timeline it started.

Nah, programmers and engineers aren't Morlocks to executives Eloi -- when was the last time a programmer or engineer ate a C-suite exec?

It's almost reminiscent of Morlocks and Eloi from HG Well's Time Machine.

I'm saying I think technology will turn us into Eloi from te time machine.

Have we become little more than Eloi snowflakes to be so offended by that?

We would in a sense become long-lived rich eloi.

> scholar-gentry We prefer to be called "Eloi-American".

> According to Facebook[1], they exist to "give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." Yup, and the Morlocks feed the Eloi.

It's a terrifying Morlock/Eloi dichotomy that explains a lot (at least to me).

I just try to keep in mind that eventually the Morlocks end up eating the Eloi.

The largest of these was at St Eloi, dug by the 1st Canadian Tunnelling Company, consisting of 95,600 pounds (43,400 kg) of explosive.
