What gets me the most about the hype and the people arguing about it is: if it is so clearly revolutionary and the inevitable future, each minute you spend arguing about it is a minute you waste. People who stumble upon game changing technologies don't brag about it online, they use that edge in silence for as long as possible.

It had nothing to do with arresting progress or being against technology.
