The fact is, it can be a very useful technology when deployed sensibly. Yes, it’s going to inflict massive harm on society in multiple ways - but just dismissing it as shit is putting your head in the sand. We need to be figuring out how to ensure that the harm it does is minimised and ideally that it’s used in ways that benefit us all. Fuck knows how though.
But it’s not just going to go away, no matter how much we might want it to.
It destroys the environment inherently by virtue of its operation (in the context of our current energy infrastructure). I do not care how “useful” it is to you or any corporation if it takes even a single living organism off of this earth.
I dismiss it as shit and I don’t need your approval to do so. Medical and scientific applications are acceptable. Nothing else, no exceptions.
