We should always be improving humanity and ending suffering through tech, software, law, and everything else. > Do you think it similarly wasteful when a car manufacturer spends resources building yet-another-car? YES. > Who do you think _should_ get to decide what brilliant minds should spend their time doing? Nobody. Everyone is entitled to doing what makes them happy.
