Lots of white dudes in tech like to think they're the next Tony Stark, and they forget that Tony Stark was not only a tool in the social sense, but a tool of the US military-industrial complex who suffered a bit of poetic justice most war pigs manage to escape: he had weapons of his own design, bearing his own name, turned against him.
It's like not a single postmodern Prometheus among them ever fucking read FRANKENSTEIN or understood Mary Shelley's novel.
