@022a7c10  We have a gadget spy cop archetype in our modern collective unconscious.  I'm thinking of Q in James Bond films, Lucius Fox in Batman, and Marshall Flinkman in Alias.  Any of these characters would love to work with mondo microcontrollers for spy purposes.  I think there is something here, a key to the "neoliberal twitter crowd" as you call it.  We all have our unexamined archetypes, right?  Does it work to shine a light on it by shouting, "Thunderbirds are go!"??
