Nice self-sealing beliefs!

"Altman" is from the Middle High German alt meaning "old", not from the Proto-Indo-European root al- meaning "beyond."

Or is English the language of the fates?

Edit: this kind of schizoid syncretism is dangerous because it obscures real, empirically verifiable material harms from technology. Every technology is a trade-off. We should follow the advice of (Freemason!!) Benjamin Franklin and not pay too much for our whistle.
