This letter manages to rub me the wrong way three times before it even begins. First the title, why is this addressed to Bill and Melinda Gates? What they spend their money and (more important) their time and energy on is wholly their own business. I'm of the opinion that their work is most admirable and important. Second the graph is comparing magnitude of morality with magnitude of technological progress over time, which just doesn't make any sense. The term 'morality apocalypse' is equally ridiculous and over-the-top, I was half expecting to find the term 'war on immorality' somewhere in the letter, which would have been quite ironic. Finally the TLDR seems to suggest we ought to stop or slow down technological progress because 'we can't handle it' which might be the most immoral thing to do, seeing how many people's lifes have been saved by advances in technology and medicine. Instead of holding back progress on the technology front (which is futile anyway) we might do better increasing morality by simply educating people (probably making use of technology). Explain to the toddler what the consequences of using the flamethrower are, it is not impossible.
