gollark: Consequentialist-ly speaking (yes, I am aware you don't subscribe to this) a technological development could be "bad", if the majority of the possible uses for it are negative, or it's most likely to be used for negative things. To what extent any technology actually falls into that is a separate issue though.
gollark: You can show that 2 + 2 = 4 follows from axioms, and that the system allows you to define useful mathematical tools to model reality.
gollark: If you're going to say something along the lines of "see how it deals with [SCENARIO] and rate that by [OTHER STANDARD]", this doesn't work because it sneaks in [OTHER STANDARD] as a more fundamental underlying ethical system.
gollark: I don't see how you can empirically test your ethics like you can a scientific theory.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly how you define "moral relativists", but personally I've never seen a convincing/working argument for some particular ethical system being *objectively true*, and don't think it's even possible.
