To which angels do you propose we entrust the power of evaluating "until we're ready"? The matter under discussion here is a case in the field of governance, and the entire problem in that field is how fallible humans govern other fallible humans without making disaster inevitable. Were angels available to govern, the field wouldn't exist at all, because we'd never have had the need to invent it. Suggesting that someone should "inhibit technology 'until we're ready'" reduces to suggesting that all human forms of government should be replaced with angels. Sure, no argument, that would work a lot better than anything we have now! Does it matter?
