Unfortunately, as soon as they graduate, our people return
to a world driven by a tool that is the antithesis of thinking:
PowerPoint. Make no mistake, PowerPoint is not a neutral tool —
it is actively hostile to thoughtful decision-making. It has
fundamentally changed our culture by altering the expectations
of who makes decisions, what decisions they make and how
they make them.  -Colonel T. X. Hammes, USMC
