I agree, I think it is very important. Unfortunately, I think it's just too far beyond people's understanding of technology.
The interesting thing about it for me is that this advancement, this creation of humans, is feared. It tells us a lot about ourselves. Why do we fear what we create? Why do we fear advancement? When we watch movies about the future, the Terminators and such, they're all bleak.
And because of this fear, we disregard the future. We deny it or abandon thoughts of it. In doing so, we leave serious contemplation of these technologies to those who are using it ways that should be feared. We're building killing robots and unmanned drones -- exactly the thing of our nightmare scenarios.
Instead, we should be reducing our use of advanced technologies to cause harm to humanity. Without serious discussion of the ramifications, we are leaving decisions to the unconscious, to the short term thinkers who will use the technology in the quest for world domination.
