>From the inimitable Bret Victor:

"The least important question you can ask about Engelbart is, "What did he
build?" By asking that question, you put yourself in a position to admire
him, to stand in awe his achievements, to worship him as a hero. But
worship isn't useful to anyone. Not you, not him.
The most important question you can ask about Engelbart is, "What world was
he trying to create?" By asking that question, you put yourself in a
position to create that world yourself."

Lord, give us the wisdom to utter words that are gentle and tender, for
