So, Dow/DuPont/TeFal 's impasse is the 'unintended consequences' of better life through chemistry: bloated frothing dying cows downstream from Roy Plunkett's non-stick pan factories in West Virginia, for example.

This idea is comprised of a group of educated, experienced persons who pause to consider the knock-on effects of any new technology--nigh unto the seventh generation of all surrounding living beings--with the aim to avoid and/or mitigate the most egregious accidental outcomes.
Scientific progress will not stop, indeed it can't, as we have so many pressing problems to solve; TaoAlchemical is simply a Think Tank of the best laterally-thinking scientific brains, looking at the the entire web of consequences before new technologies are rolled out. Their findings will be based on peer-reviewed replicable studies, universally accepted, backed by UN forces and/or BlackOps corporations tasked with protecting Life On Earth at all costs [insert assassinations/explosions here].
