I like this passage by oberon a lot:
Quote:

The gulf of the difference between the theory and the fact can be quite large, and there is no theory out there that would remain unblemished by an attempt to reproduce it in the real world. Even more so, the longer a theory is put into practice, the more it changes, the less it resembles the original theory. For at each turn it is changed, moulded and altered by those within it, either to suit the circumstances of the era or to suit an individuals desire. Does this mean that the theory is wrong? Perhaps, perhaps not, or perhaps it is another example of the gap between our brains and our hearts in that our brains can often come up with fantastic ideas, but our hearts can smash those ideas within minutes. Rational thinking is not the strongest point of humanity, after all, if it were then the world would be a much different place.

I could boil it down to:
Between our Dreams for our future Society (Concepts, Theories) and the application of these, there is a Problem, it is Ourselves.
In a very rough manner, Humans are too flawed to achieve what we could achieve.
Our bad ways hinder us from moving forwards.
Too dum for our own good.
Enjoying the reading so far. It is a bit "deeper" than what i expect from a gaming forum, but that just adds to the value. It is educating to see two guys send their ideas back and forth.
thank you Neal, Thank you Subsim, thank you Authors.
