And then I also consider like, okay, let's say you have four teenage boys and they're all in your house and they're all fighting all the time.
And you say, okay, here's my solution.
all of you are gonna have an explosive bomb put into your backpacks and you all can control each other's bomb.
And if you guys fight each other, then this person can just explode you at any point.
As a parent, would you ever want your children to have this type of technology to kill each other if they have a disagreement?
Like, would you really think like, oh, that'll keep my family safer if they all have a bomb in their backpack?
Because like you mentioned, you could accidentally push the button.
You could be looking for your pencil and accidentally hit the detonator and kill your brother.
And I don't know, maybe it's because of, you know, I grew up with a Catholic worldview.
I'm like, is this what God wants for humanity?
Like, I know there's many people out there listening that might be secular, and I respect that.
But imagine there is a God.
Is this what God would want for humanity?
Like, if you don't want this for your children, is this what God wants for his creation?
To me, it's like, I just don't understand, like, the...
I don't understand the argument of like, yeah, if everyone has it, we're safer.
To me, it just breeds, you know, discoordination and a lack of, you know, compliance and, you know, real good faith cooperation.
And furthermore, it also just opens up potential, you know, honest mistakes that lead to the destruction of humanity.
So either situation isn't great.
