Fuck techno-optimism. You need techno-pessimism. The technology that you need is being closed off to you, is being hoarded and used for evil ends. And you must take it. You must reach out with both hands and grab it and make it yours. The future is not one that will be had without a fight.

G: "Uh...not for most things."
[gasps from audience]
