You just... don't get it, do you.

Firstly, I am a scientist. (Does the term "technomancy" mean nothing to you?) A significant reason for this program is simply down to "let us do something that has never been done before". Furthermore, I mean to democratize wins in the long term.

Unlike you, I am not solely focused on one-upping others.

...

Additionally, I am quite positive that bursting the bubble of unfriendly, hypercompetitive individuals would feel quite fulfilling as well.

...

There is precedent for this sort of thing. I am sure many people thought my beer replicator would devalue beer -- but did it? No!
