Should the #oceangate #titan ever have been built? Should #adventuretoursim to the #titanic and expeditions to #MountEverest exist? Given all the externalities we are seeing in terms of rescue and recovery, is this anything close to an efficient market? Do #billionaires have any responsibility to build an equitable society? Should they have the right to drive #societal development in whatever ways they desire regardless of the consequences for humanity?

@TJ800X 1. - depends, but it looks like corners were cut, so no. 2. -maybe 3. Better question, should there be billionaires? No. Shape society- No, a complete crapshoot on the outcome. The problem is people, we are flawed, seriously flawed. Look at the and and then ponder our possible/probable future. It will be difficult to breach the great filter, but 🤞not impossible, and not without serious casualties.
