But let's say that scientists at CERN unlocked the ultimate Neutral Technology by splitting the boson or whatever it is they are doing over there. You can't just turn the tap and have Technology pour into your glass. There needs to be some kind of interface - a way to give inputs and get outputs.

Turning a Technology into a concrete thing that does something requires a lot of decisions, and most of those decisions are about what NOT to do. This is not solely a commercial pressure, but the nature of the game - the ways scientists package their own tools is often extremely limited.

The state of Kansas realized that technology had the capacity to replace laws and government. It built all three branches of government into its state IT structure specifically because it’s not “neutral”. Just look at all the institutions advising its IT policy. www.ebit.ks.gov/resources/go...

The decisions that go into those tools embed additional values into the technology. The tool creates a new path of least resistance - this activity is now easier to do, which makes it a preferred course of action over this other activity. But different activities also attain different outcomes.

Send them this (award-winning research), tell them to read and send excerpts of what truths/lessons they took from it, and engage accordingly.
