Merchants/Industry today provide the tools necessary for the hobby to

someone
selling the rouge computer parts to early hobbists, they wouldn't have
been
able to even build a computer.

but the aim for Merchants/Industry is "money" and *for money* they can
use the power of inventions for kill us all. (e.g. atomic bobs or
other that is an invention of many [e.g. OGM (we don't know enough)])
more there is technology power, more there is the need of reflection
on what to use and the correct reason why use.
it could be for good or for destroy

The aim is closer to "ownership". Useful tools used as weapons are the
owners' way of protecting their inventory.
The ultimate goal is for one person to own *everything* and everybody
else to own nothing except what the ultimate owner leases to them.

However, it usually doesn't get that far. For one, the system is
regulated to some degree (for now), and when the ratio of
owners/leasers (let's call them masters/slaves) get to a breaking
point... say around 6 slaves for every one master, there is a slave
revolt, the master's get their heads chopped off and the cycle repeats.

Yet, each new generation of masters learns from the previous master's
mistakes and becomes more formidable. They learn ways to make the
slaves compliant and give them an illusion of freedom. One popular
illusion is called "Democracy." No matter how or for whome you 'vote',
the masters will still get what they want while occasionally throwing
the voters a bone to keep the illusion alive. Other popular tactics
include making slaves into "little masters" ... let them have ownership
of small insignificant baubels and another is to cause the slave to
become dependent on needless products by creating the illusion of
'need'.


The true "hobbyist" is one who feels that there is something wrong
with this merry-go-round and want's to step off, but realizes that
doing so will cause him to fall and get trampled to death, so he just
sticks out an arm or a leg.
