Using an artful tool does not make one a dry technician. It seems to me that people that are anxious about our technical advancement, confuse means and ends.

Just like the plough.

Antoine de Saint-ExuperyIf you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the worldโฆif you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow
