>Maybe we should not publish openly about human genetic or gender differences for the same reason we do not publish precise schematics for atomic weapons or detailed how-to documents on how to create a doomsday plague with a mail order CRISPR kit. That reason being: some of us will use such knowledge to kill each other. I've sometimes wondered if the answer to the Fermi Paradox is that the knowledge to destroy the entire population became available to too many individuals in those societies. For instance, suppose some new physics were discovered and technology developed so that it was possible for an average-intelligence person to build a true earth-destroying doomsday bomb in his basement. It would only take one crazy person to eliminate humanity. Even more likely is the ability to genetically engineer a doomsday virus; just look how bad COVID-19 was. If some angry teenager could make something far worse, we're doomed as a species, or at least as a civilization.
