I'd argue the tech is never the problem - it's always "how can a bad corporation/government make this neat idea a dystopian nightmare?"

    Yeah but what if instead we didn't react like that and looked forward towards making a world where that tech is fine because no one is trying to crush others to fulfill a misapplied survival instinct.
