Why?

What is the motivating spirit of engineers?

The deep abiding goal of every engineer is to take a thing and make it do a thing it wasn't supposed to do.

Building things.

Wrong

Who are the venerated engineers? People who get doom to run on a washing machine. Who modify a phone to detect radiation. Hell, you know what a digital computer is? It's the guts of a cash register rearranged into logic gates!

And what are quantum computer geeks doing? They are running scripts on god's own hardware! Seizing on the uncanny fundamental nature of reality so they can hack email!

We could run doom on the universe.

Amen!
