Ol Teddy Boy, was right in almost all of his observations, but wrong in his conclusions. He saw the world as it is and is likely to become, but his solution was to assassinate engineers. This is stupid. The answer to a disenfranchisement is not violence. For thousands of years idiots used violence and it only ever results in more violence and more disenfranchisement. No the answer to disenfranchisement is elevated consciousness and a love for the people.
Ted never truly loved the people. He was like a false prophet screaming noise and rage into the wind. He hoped others with rage would repeat the message. This was foolish. He should have spread seeds of love and reconciliation to the people. He should have taught the people how to connect with their communities. He should not have pretended to be a lone wolf protecting humanity from change.
Instead, a true prophet defies the rage, defies wind, and spreads a better signal through the noise.

Lofty. There is no such thing as elevated consciousness. It's just the same old status seeking elitism but transferred to a playing field some people feel is more to their ability than objective achievement. Evolution, spiritual or otherwise treats the species as a whole. In that respect you were born equal to all.
As a matter of fact your ideals sound very close to Christianity with the love for all humanity deal, unlike the other two big leaguers. That comparison doesn't ever appeal to erstwhile spiritual snobs.

Maybe, but in the end the only thing all humans have, all they have ever had, all they will ever truly have is hope and a work towards their hopes. I choose to hope an elevated consciousness is possible. I will not hide from change. I choose to embrace the change that Ted so feared. I will use the technology as a tool of my hope.
