Do you not see a responsibility to future generations in any of your actions or are you just here to “get yours” and check out?
Not on this matter. Simply asserting that danger exists is not the same as demonstrating it, and you’re doing a lot of asserting and zero demonstrating.
While there are real and immediate dangers today
Such as? You’re pretty light on details there.
our responsibility in this moment is to be a firm NO so that these things don’t find their extremes in our lifetime or beyond
Why does that require a “firm NO”? Plenty of actually dangerous things have been handled via regulation rather than a “firm NO”.
You’re the frog in the pot of cold water, but the burner is turned on beneath you.
Bad news: the frogs jump out. You’ve also completely failed to demonstrate that we are frogs and there is a pot of water.

Anyone can obtain your DNA by picking a single hair of yours. It’s an open secret.

And there would likely be legal ramifications if they actually used that information in a way that harmed me. That’s not so clear when you gave it up willingly.

And anyone can hate a group of people, the difference between that hate staying small, isolated and relatively contained is organization and systemization - so for example, IBM catalogues and analyzes data for the nazis and you then get an amplification of strength of that hatred that effectively results in the holocaust (instead of something that would have maybe been more like Putin’s limp, flailing invasion of Ukraine).
Yes I can pull a single hair from your head, but if I create a machine where you and 50 million of your friends send me that hair, pay me for the privilege and I then sell the data or it gets breached, that’s where we start to get into the danger zone.
Those of you here being contrarians for the sake of it are on the wrong side of history. Learn a book, shitheads.
