- ly3xqhl8g9 4y agoThe parent comment said "[t]he west created the monster". The point is, since our technology is only a means of enhancing intelligence, not wisdom, we are unable to perceive the end-leaf monster of each decision tree. But sure, we can imagine a political-fiction novel à la Philip K. Dick where Oppenheimer, von Neumann, and Feynman team up and after nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they nuke Moscow and Washington D.C., and form a world government ruled by scientists, a techno-solar punk utopia based roughly on Herman Hesse's Castalia from The Glass Bead Game [1].
