gollark: As technology improves this will probably get even more problematic as individual humans get able to throw around more energy to do things.
gollark: > A human gone rogue can be stopped easily enoughI mean, a hundred years ago, a rogue human might have had a gun or something, and could maybe shoot a few people before they were stopped. Nowadays, humans have somewhat easier access to chemical stuff and can probably get away with making bombs or whatever, while some control advanced weapons systems, and theoretically Trump and others have access to nukes.Also, I think on-demand commercial DNA printing is a thing now and with a few decades more development and some biology knowledge you could probably print smallpox or something?
gollark: You probably want to be able to improvise and stuff for emergencies, like in The Martian, and obviously need to be good at repair, but mostly those don't happen much.
gollark: "Oh no! We drove into a potatron warp! We need to reflux the hyperluminar subquantum transistors!"
gollark: Only if you're in a stupid TV show where weird ridiculous novel stuff happens all the time.
