>Honestly, this is getting extremely tiring. Every new invention that has happened has affected the world in both good and bad ways.

Common human trope is to rely on analogies and past patterns to predict the future. It blinds you reality.

This isn't some new "invention". What's happening is fundamentally more profound. the stakes are much much much more higher and the consequences much more grave. Thus a historical analogy can't save you when the situation is categorically different.

I agree it's getting "tiring" but this is another common human trope. You see the same thing too many times and you lose the sense of danger that comes with it. It's like sky diving all the time. You eventually lose the fear via repetition, but fundamentally speaking, you are still parachuting out of a fucking plane.
