The downvotes on my comment reflect a threat we all need to be extremely mindful of: people who are so terrified of death that they’d rather flip the coin on condemning us all to hell, than die. They’ll only grow ever more desperate & willing to resort to more hideously reckless hail marys as we draw closer.
Upvoting you because I think this is an important point to be made, even if I’m unsure how much I agree with it. We need people pushing back against potentially deeply unethical schemes, even if said schemes also have the potential to be extremely valuable (not that I’ve seen very many of those at all; most proposed supervillain schemes would pretty obviously be a Bad Idea™). Having the dialogue is valuable, and it’s disappointing to see unpopular thoughts downvoted here.
