FUCK YOU, Pandora

Zeus put all the evils of the world in the box, and at the bottom he put the most perfidious of all.
Epimetheus's bird, Pandora, was the villain of the piece - always the woman! - and let them all out just to satisfy her womanly curiousity. She was created by Zeus for this purpose.

And so we live in suffering and ignomy and shame.
And how can we tolerate it? Because the last thing out of the box was hope (or foresight was retained in the box, depending on the translation.)

Nothing to do with technology. Just saying, don't trust the Greeks. Or women. Or Gods.

But Sundae, you haven't finished the story.

What was the one thing left in the box - on purpose !
