Sorry, I didn't read that far. I do think this is a classic slippery slope though.

But don't underestimate human adaptability. Slippery slope arguments assume that once a technology introduces a specific risk, society lacks the agency to create counter-measures, new norms, or alternative uses for that technology.

I haven't found that to be the case throughout most of history.
