Homo insouciant

Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don’t know what they want?
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Noah Harari

Little Gil and Frank have always been fastidious boys,
and that’s never changed, even after they got their pee-haitch-dees.
Now doctors Gamesh and Enstein play ‘I spy’ with a man
with soulful, if somewhat dispirited and unsympathetic, eyes,
pretending that someone is thinking about his future,
even though no one has ever told him that when it’s time to age,
a Deus is no less insouciant than a Neanderthal.
