In Paul Mollers TED talk on his development of the Skycar, he finished with a beautiful statement on how a visionary invention is received. I believe that his quote fits the conflict between different ways of using knowledge in this blog very nicely.First, it is ridiculed by those ignorant of its potential.
Next, it is subverted by those threatened by its potential.
Finally, it is considered self-evident.
