It's like modern culture is trapped in a cold-war b-movie about the excesses of science.

On the pro-science side there's singularities and AI fantasy and the anti-science side the planet is "being destroyed".

It's just one giant argument from ignorance, "we don't know, therefore you don't know, therefore we can say anything we like".

isn't that the argument that a lot of people use about religion too?
