"Too often is the inventor the faustian idealist, who wants to improve the world, but fails at the hard realities. If he wants to realize his ideas, he has to cooperate with powers which have a better sense of reality than him. Today such powers are, without making a value statement, primarily military and managers. [..] From my experience the chances of an individiual to defend themselves against such pacts are rather low."

-- Konrad Zuse
