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?

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?

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
