Scientists would end up causing a bigger genocide than a despotic politician could ever dream of. King, CEO, a farmer or a baker, whoever is put in charge should have to suffer the consequences of their failures too instead of being allowed to quietly shuffle off to cushy speaking gigs at the expense of wider society. Bring back decimations and obligatory seppuku for politicians, economists, central bankers and other policy makers I say. Even if it proves worse than the current regime in place, at least it will be an entertaining slide to hell.

One of the saddest little notifications I have seen in a while.

Almost any innovation in human history has been used by the elite to advance their own selves first. That just happens to be the nature of power and wealth, it affords you opportunities that wouldn’t be available to plebs.

We would still be sitting around waiting for the wheel to become commonplace if the adoption criteria was to wait for all societal problems to be fixed before its spread through society.
