No no we should push the limits until a bioattack happens, then when those people are all dead we comment angrily on the hackernews thread and say that someone should have seen this coming

What are you willing to give up to be less afraid of all these extremely hypothetical risks? (which in the case of bio/nuclear/chemical is mostly access to controlled materials and capital anyway)

Access to information and knowledge is probably the very last thing I'd be willing to give up, personally.

I think most people would be a lot happier if they were less fearful in general.
