I'm not talking robot servants. I"m talking basic stuff they've gotten use to like plumbing, lights, coffee, strong construction against harsh elements, guns, heck.. music.  I imagine that the rela conversation starts out with Lee suggesting this idea, and then being met halfway, where some of the population keep their technology, possibly in egypt and greece, but can not advance it either further and must use it to prepare the next generation nor contact any of the natives.  Eventually these two nations bio weapon each other over a dispute and then the hippies point and say see, no more technology.  It just seems kinda of a leap of faith <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> they want the readers to take to believe this.  Even accidentally, its hardpressed for us not to reinvent basic needs when we know they exist.

This seems like the worst ending ever for a show".  And whereas i thought it was a lot better than worst (putting the events in a slightly better than mediocre, and the actual ending in an unlikely ending catagory) i can see her point.</blockquote>
