We like to think of technology can be bad or evil, or something that needs to be reigned in or controlled. 

But it is us, who can be evil and bad, technology is itself still a tool and we are the ones that wield it - so what do we do?

We have unimaginable greatness and unimaginative hatred within us all - technology is just an amplifier

Imo less interested in the answer of whether we should control the technology or not; more interested in the question of how do we navigate this world where the technology has an extension of who we are as a species - virulently wonderful yet spectacularly violent - and this occurring at a increasingly breakneck speed

I think it's because people can be bad or evil that we reign in and control technology.

Should we make available to purchase for anyone a protein printer that can synthesize virulent smallpox with the press of a button?

I’m not 100% sure what you mean here but I do agree it is an existential dilemma of sorts

there's an existential dilemma here, if we build technology that has a greater span of ethical considerations than humans have the bandwidth for, eventually we're dependent on technology that should have, by demonstrable ethics, more agency than humans. then it wields us for the least harm.

We tear down the exploitative empires built off of it and replace them with the sustainable and actually neutral solutions

Rage against the bummer machine

A lot of good and bad came from the technological marvel that was the prefrontal cortex.

Yes but technologies are bent in certain directions. Favoring or predisposed to certain uses or outcomes

A lot of people (and mythologies) label any dramatic societal change as "evil," and since technology is often the source of that change, for many it is evil by definition, even if they wouldn't say that directly.

Yes! This is so important. What are we summoning out of the earth (fourfold) via Dasein? It’s the forgotten question at the root of our inauthentic Being. The culture wars are a distraction from this more fundamental ‘question concerning technology’.
