“反对数据中心的呼声反映了那些觉得自己无法掌控生活选择的人的挫败感。”
‘The push against datacenters speaks to the frustration of people who don’t feel they are making the choices in their lives’ The Stanford ethicist Rob Reich was once invited to a dinner organized by a Silicon Valley mogul to discuss what a state designed to maximize science and tech powered by commercial models might look like. The gathered technologists were drawn to the idea of building a small nation-state dedicated to the endeavor, Reich recalls in “System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot it”.
斯坦福大学伦理学家罗布·赖希（Rob Reich）曾受邀参加由一位硅谷大亨组织的晚宴，讨论一个旨在通过商业模式最大化科技发展的国家可能是什么样子。

赖希在《系统错误：大型科技公司哪里做错了，我们如何重启》一书中回忆道，在场的技术专家都被建立一个致力于此事业的小型民族国家的想法所吸引。

当赖希询问这个国家是否会实行民主时，他得到了一个冷淡的否定回答。
When Reich asked whether this state would be a democracy, he got a cool no. “Democracy is too slow, and it holds science back,” he was told. “To optimize for science, we need a beneficent technocrat in charge.”
“民主太慢了，而且会阻碍科学进步，”他被告知，“为了优化科学发展，我们需要一位仁慈的技术官僚来掌权。”
