I made the point that ethics would be my personal litmus test for whether or not something could be used for the good.
But we are also up against an agenda that appears to be thousands of years old and it seems unstoppable to me.
But, this issue goes to what this place is. So far, using WestWorld as a template, I would say it doesn't look good. But there are theistic ideas that differ from this one and of course various non-theistic possibilities such as certain schools of Buddhism. None of it is obvious though and that's why I view all of this through the lens of uncertainty.
Be well:)
