decimation: "But
they didn't.
They gave
to scientocracy. Now,
they need
to figure out how
to patronize science - or
there will be no science. Just scientific Bondo, sanded

the robber-barons of Silicon Valley, unlike
their Victorian forebears, do not realize
that, if
they want all
this science,
they will actually have
to pay for it -
themselves. Instead,
they look at
their
tax forms and
think: I gave at
the office."
decimation: heh I forgot
that paragraph from yarvin: "
