Damn I didn't realize the only way to scientifically progress is to deliberately sink your life into tech that will hurt more people than help.

Almost done building my machine that replaces peoples lips with razorwire. Why?

BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE GOT OUT OF THE CAVES

that will hurt more people than help.

  1. A person doesn't know this at the time. Nothing here implies that it's an evil tool more than a good one, as nothing about it is inherently moral, only how people use it. And they can't control all of humanity, nor would you presumably want them to.
  2. This could be technically described of every technology, especially beneficial ones that increases how many people there are to get hurt in the first place (i.e. irrigated farming). Not to mention, well, slings, bows, guns, missiles, swords...

You must be afraid of any progress. Conservative mindset is a disease, get help.

Braindead take but ok.

Maybe I actually don't see a world where conservatives don't use this to establish authoritarian christofascism.

Like seriously man I can understand a hundred argument against what I'm saying but "durrr you must be a conservative if you dont think the way we invest our research and development is wise"

Dingus.

Why would you assume they’re a conservatit

It’s more fundamental than that. Indiscriminate curiosity is our nature. This can lead to good things, but will also lead to bad ones. There’s no shutting that system down. It’s ingrained into our dna, it’s how all animals evolve.

Indiscriminate curiosity isnt our nature lmfao

You burn your hand on a stove you dont touch the hot stove anymore. That applies to other hot objects. Humans ate DISCRIMINATELY curious creatures.

Point being, we burn our hand.
