>>13901088>Is there any way to prevent science being used for evil purposes such as in picrel intentionally creating an addiction epidemic so you can sell the patented cure at price gouging rates?There isn't - humans have lived with the capacity to use fire and sharp objects for millenia upon millenia and still regularly stab each other, burn each other to death and do other nasty things for all reasons imaginable.
Also, lol, opioids are old, humanity has used them for recreational and medicinal purposes for ages. Opioid receptors are really just locks made in a way that they open easily and with keys to them all around you. All praise and blame on this matter lies on God, as with all ancient facts of life burned into existence and laid out for us as toys.
>>13901236Ted is naive and underestimates how naive and brutish human nature is. We are not a species of peaceful treedwellers gone mad - we are a species that ravaged through ecospheres of entire continents with primitive weapons and fire alone, while driving to extermination the other major species of humans and eating up the remains. Science has changed nothing in purely philosophical terms - the worst it did was make humanity into one giant correlated entity with a lot of capacity for self destruction, raising the stakes of human life to be higher than they have ever been. But the game is the same as it ever was and as always its been played by the Devil - us.
