Quote by Kim Stanley Robinson
They lived like monkeys still, while their new god powers lay around them in the weeds.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite having great potential and abilities, the individuals being referred to continue to live in a primitive and undeveloped manner, similar to monkeys. While they possess incredible powers or advantages, symbolized by the reference to "new god powers", they fail to recognize or utilize them effectively. Instead, they remain ignorant or indifferent towards their own potential, allowing it to go unnoticed or wasted, much like valuable resources lying neglected in the weeds.
