@ebbot 2/2 convictions with a wave of the hand, stating that they are ridiculous and must he eliminated. The price that has to be paid in this sphere is surely enormous. We have here a typical case of the insoluble dilemmas that technique thrusts upon us when it is applied to some problems. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia
