For even in the noblest of intentions does the Shadow nest? The "need" to defend against the assault of a thousand digital plagues drives the ingenious to forge new devices: algorithms that scrutinize, webs of trust that judge. Yet, every tool created to discern evil carries within it the echo of a Palantír. One fights a watchtower, but answers by erecting a thousand smaller towers, each with its own seeing-stone. Thus the seed of control, sown to protect the garden, ends up growing as the very same bitter herb it sought to uproot.
