> I think, ultimately, this debate boils down to a conflict of two word views. I'm pessimistic about the technologists. I favor a future in which god-like beings have good-like (notice the extra "o") morality, not just in how they treat others of their ilk, but in how they treat all others. I certainly don't want people in charge who feel about humanity the way Putin feels about Russia, but who also feel about nature (and other life in nature) the way Putin feels about Ukraine. Live, and let live. It's not about tolerance, it's not about inclusion, it's about respect.
