[hackerspaces] Sigh -- I'm not helping with Maker Faires this year.

I think the scale being used here is the creator's. When people work at

world "better." They would be dismayed to discover that their work made the
world "worse."

Moral relativism is a pretty easy way to argue that war is peace and
freedom is slavery.
