“Technocrats are turning us into daredevils. The haphazard gambles they are imposing on us too often jeopardise our safety for goals that do not advance the human cause but undermine it. By staking our lives on their schemes, decision makers are not meeting the mandate of a democratic society; they are betraying it. They are not ennobling us; they are victimizing us. And, in acquiescing to risks that have resulted in irreversible damage to the environment, we ourselves are not only forfeiting our own rights as citizens. We are, in turn, victimising the ultimate nonvolunteers: the defenceless, voiceless—voteless—children of the future.” – Jacques-Yves Cousteau
