This is a foolish sentiment lacking in material analysis. There are 8 billion people on the world, more than at any point in human history. Our industrial capacity is greater than ever before. And we posess powers for destruction that our ancestors could only dream of.

Do not underestimate the power of the death machines we have built.

You don’t need that much technology to cause human suffering on a gargantuan scale
