    We could also go back to hunter-gatherer times and have a mortality rate in the thirties.

    Technology and innovation arent inherently bad, especially if they have many potential uses. The problem arises when adding the human element of how its used.

    On that front… right now I dont think a use case has been proven for wide use of a lot of recent technological innovations. They are investor (and/or pervert) bubbles that are liable to explode soon.

    I cringe at the thought of blanket bans being seen as a solution instead of a temporary patch, as its really just trying to ban aspects of human culture without directly banning (or relearning) it. Which just means those awful aspects will just find another avenue and we end up playing whack-a-mole instead of actually trying to better the world.
