heart-warming to be sure. but only essentially so with the idealistic belief that you and i and mr munkey are all part of some gargantuan and unified movement of brilliance against ‘them’ - the apathetic mainstreamers. and these machine-makers, whether or not they were/are part of this so-called crazy genius clan, fuel that ‘mainstream’ and make their self-reflexive conception of progressives a bit hypocritical. and redundant. progress, yes wohoo, but the whole ‘albert einstein, bill gates and the rest were tortured geniuses, misunderstood crazies who can be clumped together in their experiences and contributions to humanity as diametrically opposed to the rest of the dead fish in bonnie’s aquarium’ is questionable.
