Some hippies called for a halt to splitting the atom. You know how that story went. Good luck with this one.

What's more, those who can, do. Those who can't make themselves insufferable to others.

"those who can, do"

Also works as a rationale for... basically anything. Murder. Theft. Slavery. Etc. So maybe don't lean on that one.
