Yes, instead of align, accept the speed of technology and see that as a potential, let's bann it.

What comes next? Wiki? Google?

Isaac Asimov was right, when he said: “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

Problem is you need wisdom to use knowledge accurately and effectively. Better to ban the technology, learn about it, and create ways so that it doesn’t disrupt the status quo, then release it it. That’s better than just jumping in the high end and hoping you can swim

Especially because humanity is able to think exponentially or collect wisdom fast. There are no differences between the cultures.... right?

Ever wondered why we have politicians to do the job? Why we're not asking each and every citizen on his opinion?

For example: We're able to extend the human life for like 50%, recreate conscious in virtual word, fix some of diseases already in uterus using gene treatment.

Should we stop until we're wise enough?

I think the best approach is to go wit Utilitarianism.

Yes we should lol. That’s why the term “trial” exists. It’s stupid to put all your eggs in one basket without knowing the adverse effects.
