Roughly this analogy was explored at length in the possessed machines. It seems pretty interesting, although I onlly looked at this summary This was about the Bolshevik’s that were Leninist’s spiritual forebears. It’s written by an anonymous person from a major lab I believe, so I think it might capture some of that ethos that I don’t understand.
Independent researchers have a lot less of that orientation. I’d say most of us don’t want to rush toward the glorious future at current cost. That would both probably get us all killed, and with an embarrassing lack of Dignity (and roughly, the advantages that come with following at least some virtue ethics). Although it certainly is tempting ;)
