What's an effective reaction to the fact that offense fundamentally outstrips defense as technology grows? I can only think of two paths: a) Luddism, b) world government by benevolent AI. Both of these paths are very risky. So in the short term, it seems worth it to incrementally slow down the growth of offense technology, by using activism etc. That gives humanity a little more time to figure things out.
