As a wise man once said: "drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not"
Sounds like a fool. We have the ability to weight costs and benefits. We have advanced linear models and computers. We have the math to split the fucking atom, but when it comes to even thinking about the social costs of technology, suddenly everyone is impotent. What a joke.
I agree with you entirely. I could not have said it better myself. However, for context, the comment you are responding to is a quote of a very sarcastic poaster known as "dril."
