I would rather a hundred bad people live than let one more good person die if we can help it.
> I am unconvinced that humanity is even properly equipped for the level of technology we have today, much less tomorrow.
If you had 1,000 years to figure everything out, you would be more than properly equipped. Instead we all have to operate with this arbitrary 80ish years to just barely figure anything out and then most of us die before we can do anything with the knowledge. It is a horrible and unfair system. Imagine if Einstein were still around today and was able to keep building on top of the knowledge he had before. Surely in that time he would have gotten things done that the vast majority of people could not begin to imagine.

- satvikpendem 3y ago> I would rather a hundred bad people live than let one more good person die if we can help it. Why would you want that? Sounds like a terrible society to live in. Imagine if Einstein still existed, sure, but also imagine if a hundred serial killers or Hitlers still existed.
