Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Such technology is very dangerous, period. Here they go again, trying 
to elevate some Internet masterrace of super heroes, bent on ruling 
over the masses. The titans of blackholing, carving out a fiefdom for 
themselves, with powers of disrupting the connectivity of any network 
they so chose. You anger some net.warlord, and your network disappears.

What is it that turns a technocracy into idolaters?
