Disagree. People can make the world better or worse. They might choose to use software or not to achieve their goals, but in any case, software is just a tool used by people.

You can write software for a company that has the best of intentions, but stuff happens. Perhaps down the road some other people end up in charge of that intellectual property and do things that are bad for humanity with it. Your software didn't suddenly go from good to bad, but it was just a tool used first by well-intentioned people and later my ill-intentioned people.

People make moral choices. Software does not.

Why is this voted up!?!?

General Relativity was not a correction to Special Relativity. They're about completely different things! Special Relativity is about the speed of light being a constant in all reference frames and the implications of that. General Relativity is about how mass distorts spacetime giving rise to gravity.

I agree with your point that bans are bad, but stop trying to sound smart using Einstein as an example until you learn more about him, OK?
