If something is true for you, is it true for everyone else? Why can two otherwise reasonable people arrive at very different conclusions?

Nukes, Bioweapons, and logistics collapse: these are just three threats that incredibly powerful human technologies have spawned. How must we as humans change our behaviors, society, or biology to use the power we attain through technology for good?
