Your analysis may be accurate, even if aspects are disquieting to me.
What concerns me is that if most of society in general shows no
interest in educating themselves to the conflicts and internal
bickering that birthed bastardized new technologies like CF...

...we effectively doom ourselves to having history repeat itself
again, and again.

IS that as it should be?

My first response is of course to say, hell no! But then, maybe you're
right. It would seem that ignorance sows the seeds for much of the
juicy drama we witness in the world, day in and day out.
