...of high end computation in service to humanity.
I am not "celebrating" street sales of anything, nor do I feature the sociological insight to address that sociological problem related to the abuse of what may be, in the form of computational power, planet saving technology or for things like fentanyl that matter addressing dire medical issues like cruel debilitating pain.
In my family, people tend to die of cancer. What I know of my genetics, suggests I may do so as well. When the time comes, I hope I'll have merciful access to fentanyl as needed, irrespective of what happens on the street.
I feel similarly about people needing to process large data sets in nuclear physics, the point of my post. In particular, without this capability, energy intensive as it is, we will be ill equipped to do what is possible to save what's left to save of the planetary atmosphere.
I think my record at DU indicates I am a technical person with very little insight to solving sociological problems. I know they exist, but I think it unwise to elevate them above all other concerns.
Nuanced rather than knee jerk reactions seem to be, to my mind, required.
