Re: Biotechnology, demons, and sustainability
There are many cases in history of persons who later realized the bad
results of what they did, altho at the time they figured it would be a
good deal.
How about starting 2000 years ago, for an example. A man thought if he
could just get 30$, by pointing out a victim to the victim's enemies, he
would be $30 to the good, and not be hurting the victim because the victim
could easily protect himself.
How did it end? The victim was victimized, and the betrayer felt his $30
was of no use to him, so he killed himself. This example is so precise and
so apt that that man's name has become practically a synonym, all these
2000 years since, for betrayal and the futility of it.
