Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Such technology is very dangerous, period. Here they go again, trying
to elevate some Internet masterrace of super heroes, bent on ruling
over the masses. The titans of blackholing, carving out a fiefdom for
themselves, with powers of disrupting the connectivity of any network
they so chose. You anger some net.warlord, and your network disappears.
What is it that turns a technocracy into idolaters?
