creative strategies of resistance to nutty demands and ideas

This is edited from an email comment received from a dedicated shrink:

"I was reminded upon reading your recent posting of the current crop of HPC adverts, in which their key strapline, before everything else, asserts their primary role as "the protection of the public" (presumably, the public is being protected from us). This does seem to imply the existence of some embedded beliefs, prejudices, at work in the HPC that might inhibit full and open debate with such a body.

... In my work I am being audited four times between now and September by various agencies, or parts of agencies (I suppose this is an extension of the same logic, the auditors are there to protect the people I work with from me).

.... I thought of applying for one of the HPC jobs currently advertised in order to sabotage it (but then I thought about ..... life!)"
