I mean look at the atomic bomb. Do you think in colonial times they could have even imagined a bomb that could destroy whole cities at once without calling it witchcraft or something? You should read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Phillip K. Dick. it of course is a sci-fi novel and slightly dramatized and also possibly exaggerated, but nonetheless, the perspective and the ideas are kind of terrifying. because it COULD happen. maybe not anytime soon, but I do believe that the potential is there but it is an interesting idea and something to think about. the technology we could achieve in the future has tremendous capabilities that we can’t even comprehend yet.
