nothing wrong with knowing how to make a bomb or heroin. Obviously wrong making either for nefarious reasons but one can imagine legitimate reasons too.

  One man's legitimate is other's nefarious. One man's good is other's bad. Who decides this? Can we apply laws to thoughts or plans? Should we fund research for making Minority Report a reality or increase "proactive policing"? How to keep people safe while letting all information free? Can we educate everybody about good/bad, legitimate/nefarious so everybody stays on the same page forever? Shall we instrument this education with drugs to keep people in line like the movie Equilibrium? Questions, questions...

    > Who decides this? Certainly not the techbros, even though they're trying their damnest.

      I concur.

      Who is stopping them?

        Maybe the techbros should stop themselves by asking "Why?!" instead of "Why not?"
