if what i suspect is going on is true, it is so insane and irreversible (i.e. no going back) that most people will either dismiss it as crazy, quietly accept their fate, or get super panicky. any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. new technology can be used for good or bad, it's true, and this one has some potential to be good, somehow. however, the number of power-hungry wrong-doing people in the world with access to such technology is worrisome.
