In a related issue, which global empire gets to have the rights to such technology initially? As Ray Dalio reminds us, the United States is on a slow decline and China is on a slow accent. Our only advantage is our freedom, but our political squabbling complicates and hinders our progress. Of course, the CCP(Chinese Communist Party) complicates and hinders theirs as well. The global humanists will simply say that such an invention belongs to *all* of us but the reality on this planet is and has been about power and control rather than pious platitudes about the brotherhood of man.
Personally, I would love to see the Western Capitalists get ahold of the technology first and leave the governments out of it. But that argument is for another topic!
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).
When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy
