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.
