Hold Our Technocrats Accountable

The Commissioners speak a language that is diminished by inordinate ambition: the taking of more power than can be responsibly or beneficently held.

The mastery of the laboratory and of computers does not result in a mastery of communication, of connections to the actual people suddenly exposed to the consequences of the decisions of unelected technocrats who wield vast power.

On the contrary, we are all morally bound to assure that whenever we do employ power, it is beneficial and respects the lives and well-being of all affected by that power.

The result - though power may survive for a while in spite of it - is confusion and dispersal.

Power's intoxication is hard to resist, and sincerity and empathy are the first casualties of the stupor it induces.

Take Berry's words with you when you next listen or read the words of people in power.

You will be able to discern between those concerned mainly with protecting their own power and those who care to know us and earn our trust.
