Thanks for the thoughtful post rlmorel. It’s all about controlling the technology, not letting the technology control us.
Exactly 100%. There is a duality in nearly EVERYTHING. Nuclear Power can destroy a city or provide useful power to it.
A knife can cut a steak or open a package, but it can also be used to kill another human being.
A pen can write a beautiful stanza of poetry, or a vicious, scurrilous diatribe meant to destroy the integrity of someone else.
A gun can provide food/protection/entertainment, or it can used to commit an armed robbery.
And so on.
