I told a co-worker once, "It wouldn't matter if we all suddenly became telepathic, or aliens landed, or whatever. We would all go crazy for a year or so, and then we'd take it for granted. We'd get used to it. Because that is what humans do."

I told a guy I worked with, it wouldn't matter what happened: if we all became psychic overnight, or if space aliens landed: whatever it was, we'd all go crazy for a year or two, and then we'd get used to it. We'd take it for granted. Because that is what humans do.
