Point taken. Those robot archaeologists from the future will certainly find our present civilization confusing.
Someday the archaeologists from another civilization will be excavating and deliberating about our culture. And some of them will say, “These ‘Americans,’ as they called themselves—surely they did not build these massive hundred-story structures of glass and steel just to pursue commercial activities. They must have had some religious purpose.” Then they’ll write b.s. doctoral dissertations theorizing about the purposes of our skyscrapers and imagining our religions. Especially the sacred, mysterious rites of the religion called “football.” That’ll really perplex them.
The pointy heads will still need Federal Grant Monies to operate their word processors tho...
