The entire issue can be summed up as follows in that famous scene on the swamp planet in Star Wars -------------
Too many times the boss doesn't believe it and won't let you try.
That is why a company fails.

Cool, so by (long) extension, if we no longer need bosses we can have ultimate power over reality? :cool:

Of course, to look at another viewpoint, and hopefully informative to anarchists, when civilized structures are removed, war-lord ships prevail. It's observable history.

So what breaks that cycle, if anything? Hopefully some secret thing in our evolution. Well, it sounds good. That's why I say 'no longer need' rather than 'get rid of'.

More like 'if you don't believe in what you are doing you're doomed to failure from the start'.

The big issue he was having is a reliable way to not have the whole thing blow-up when starting, which it liked to do.

Reminds me of the scene in "Real Genius" (Best. Movie. About. Smart. People. EVER!)

The hero comes out of his dorm room to find people skating up and down his dorm floor. One of the guys on the floor has invented "instant ice" or somesuch. The ice suddenly disappears in a cloud of fog. As people stumble on the floor, the inventor comes on screen yelling, "YES! IT WORKS! Now if I can just keep it from exploding!"

Instantly, the floor clears out. Not that anyone believes it would actually explode, but ...

(That's why you never let Mensa people near dynamite. Smart people often are more interested in proving the theory than exploring the consequences. I've got a Mensa story about a guy with a stump to remove, a stick of dynamite, and a dog that was never the same again.)

So Yoda, why are certain entities spending quadzillions of dollars on accelerators...
When there seems that there's little being done to try to make breeder reactors viable?
