Millions of autonomous flying cars? That's such a pie-eyed fantasy as to be laughable.

How did the passenger pigeon manage navigation and collision avoidance?

Quote from Wikipedia: "One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and 300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds.".

we'd have to be dumb enough to allow discrimination based on genetics

Indeed, now that we have overcome discrimination based on skin colour or nationality for centuries.
nature vs nurture
On a side note, history shows that fascists lean to the "nature" side. Given the lack of states that develop fascist attitudes, we are definitely on the safe side here.
But given the patriot act and other current events, I'd say we can create a dystopian future for ourselves even if we stopped all scientific progress.
That is a problem of values and control, not science.
a billion times more likely to save your life ...
A strong hypothesis, well.

Have trust everything will fall into place as it should. Stop rejecting it, *seek that* instead.

Admittedly, I have a hard time with that one right now (found my wife dead in the flat when I returned from a 5hr trip on Jan 2 and I am still shaken).

We need time to retreat into wisdom,
I cannot agree more.

Thank you for your helpful reply.

There's no pressure at all to make new versions which are good enough to make people part with more many.

No need to: just increase the fee.

something you REALLY want to do

You may perhaps call this "intention".

gene expression
As I think, especially gene expression within the ECM (which is heavily modified by practicing) is of relevance if you consider long term outcomes.

"Cognitive Dissonance" is an interesting keyword in this domain.

I suppose that it is always easier to collect data than to intelligently analyse the amount of data gathered, just because sensors are less complex devices (to put it simple: compare the time you need to collect a cluster of data vs. the time you need to find interrelations). And, obviously, the problem gets worse with growing data (since the days of cluster analysis).

Obvious, but Bruce does good marketing.
