Phil Knight
Phil Knight is a professional engineer who may well have built and installed the escalator you are standing on as you read this from your tablet.
One day, while watching a batch of diesel engines travel along a production line, he had an epiphany regarding the sheer implausibility of Western civilisation, and undertook to use the methodical strategies of the engineer to disassemble the unacknowledged presumptions and conventions that underpin how our Faustian society is constructed.
Though a disbeliever in contemporary notions of progress, he does concede that oven chips have improved immensely over the last 25 years or so.
