Yeah, these days a lot of people have that attitude. And I had that attitude when I was younger. But now that I've gotten older, I have realized there is "another side to the equation": there is also a moral imperative to take responsibility for your creations, and to temper curiosity with wisdom and care for how your inventions might affect the future. The problem is, in today's culture, we're only about rights and benefits and "curiosity above all else" without wanting to take the responsibility that goes with it.
Unlike the prevailing philosophy in tech and academia, we shouldn't elevate curiosity above all else, and it is pathological to do so even when not delusional if it becomes a myopic goal to the exclusion of other considerations.
