Chopsticks make no sense as a eating utensil, and fork and spoon allow you to shovel it in too fast (probably why Americans are so fat). Someday maybe we'll have little hand-held anti-gravity tractor beams that grab ahold of the food and allow us to take bites. I mastered chopsticks decades ago, and I still flip shit all over my lap sometimes...

I dunno, chopsticks seem like a logical result of being used to picking things up with your fingers but not wanting to get your hands dirty. I've got no data on the relative efficacy of chopsticks compared to forks, spoons, sporks, or other utensils, but I'm not sure it's fair to say they "make no sense" when it's perfectly normal to eat finger food in much the same manner, just with your actual fingers instead of a set of proxy digits.
The concept of manipulating two sticks to, in turn manipulate asymmetrical matter with an appendage evolved to grasp (hand), while those two sticks lack the width, flexibility and tactile sensation, is a form of self-torture, imho... How many times have you tried to eat wet noodles or ice cream with two sticks? While in Japan or China, I try to use chopsticks out of respect for custom, but give me a fork and spoon any day...
