A great time for my favorite Jurassic Park quote: “They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

We don’t need this. Please let us humans be.

Agreed. That is what I keep thinking: “Nobody asked for this.” And yet they gave it to us anyway, and everyone acts like they wanted it all along.

We don't need it! That's what I want to shout from the rooftops. This thing is going to do our thinking for us, and where does that leave humanity?

Jurassic Park should be required reading for that alone. It amazes me how easily everyone forgets the point of that book, and "oh, look, Dinos are cool" is NOT the point.

Agreed.

Frankenstein was the original. That book is all about the overreach of science, and its consequences.
