I recently left a similar comment on a similar HN thread regarding a mouse study and received a bunch of downvotes. (Complaining about downvotes is lame, but just adding this to show the potential attitude about it here.)

I believe there's a pretty high chance humans in 2120 will look back on today and marvel at all of the facets of life that were filled with backwardness and barbarism, like we do for 1920, and like they did for 1820.
