“Yes, But Should We?” The Dangers Of The Metaverse
“They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Anyone that has seen Jurassic Park knows this famous line. Jeff Goldblum’s character was pointing out the lost art of ethical decision-making in the sciences. He was basically saying that just because we can create dinosaurs from their fossilized DNA that could potentially eat us, doesn’t mean we should. And not to spoil the film for you (Who am I kidding? If you haven’t seen it yet, than that is on you.), but he was right. The dinosaurs were “chosen” for distinction for a reason, and maybe we should’ve left it at that.
This line from the film may be the only line most remember because while watching, we couldn’t help but consider its validity, not only in the plot of the film, but also its application to our lives. And more and more these days, a news story crosses our radar that causes us, once again, to wonder if the relevant technological advancement is a good idea.
This is the approach…
