That said, I'd be interested to understand how you reason from "the 20th century's teachings" to "absolute dictatorship of a genocidal bent". I would also like to understand the characterization of 'non-evidence based wishful thinking'. Happy to walk through the reasoning behind global thermonuclear war resulting in extinction, and sudden massive climate change resulting in the same. Similarly the reasoning for an individually created pandemic can be traced back to the general availability of DNA printers[2] and the ever increasing understanding of genetics and how one might use viruses modify the genetics of living humans [3].
