Thanks Ralph 481, barbed metaphor edition
This picture is from a story about a fire in Elon's Fremont factory.
Notice something? The barbs on the barbed wire have been dropping rust on the pipe below. Security is melting security.
Since I'm in an Emersonian mood this morning, I'll make an unfair but valid connection.**

The universe is represented in every one of its particles. Each new form repeats not only the main character of the type, but part by part all the details, all the aims, furtherances, hindrances, energies, and whole system of every other.Elon's whole system ignores centuries of experience and arrogantly assumes that Lord Elon Knows Everything. Carmakers have been experimenting with manufacturing methods and materials since Emerson's time, and have reached an optimum. Elon tossed it all in the trash and started fresh. Now all of those experiments are being unnecessarily repeated, with his cultist customers as willing guinea pigs and sacrificial lambs. The same aims and hindrances apply to every layer and scale of his enterprise, including the choice of fencing materials. THEORY KILLS, EXPERIENCE SURVIVES. = = = = = ** Footnote: The comparison is unfair because the fence was most likely built by GM, the original occupant of the plant. But it's still a valid symbol.
