Ironically I had a very smart and otherwise reasonable math professor who, shortly after Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, said in class that chess was no longer interesting.

In that sense running competition is no longer interesting since I can jut ride in the car

I mean I would too be concerned if such a major event _wouldn't_ make people question their assumptions/beliefs/ideas/visions.

If you have no reaction at all, you probably weren't paying attention.

Eventually though, people _should_ recover and return after having processed the changes. So maybe the professor was still recovering at the time?
