:) I'm reminded of this bit from _Word Virus_ (2000) from William S. Burroughs: | We will endeavor to halt the Industrial Revolution before it | is too late [it is], to regulate populations at a reasonable | [i.e., ecologically sustainable] point, to eventually replace | quantitative money with qualitative money, to decentralize, | to conserve resources. The Industrial Revolution is primarily | a virus [now, we'd say "memetic"] revolution, dedicated to | controlled proliferation of identical objects and persons. | You are making soap, you don't give a shit who buys your soap, | the more the soapier. And you don't give a shit who makes it, | who works in your factories. Just so they make soap.

Good stuff.
May be so. You just know you can always trust something in this world when it is justified by Le Grande Authoritay from another world - really adds credence to cryptography and security protocol implementations. Makes all the difference in fact (for "one of those special more equal than other facts, facts" values of "fact"). ;)
