I don’t think humanity ever understands the risks of any invention until after it is widely deployed.

The best we can hope for is keen people understand them sooner than later, so the risks might be partly mitigated.

This is part of the human story though, to keep your eye on the future and our heritage. To liberate and conserve, requires our great effort.

We can and must dig our heels in at key moments, but we won’t stop the stampede of life.
