So becuase our industry is so unprofessional that you can literally point to loads of it and say "that has cost humanity billions", this entire argument is stupid and actually there is no problem at all?

Not sure that's the right attitude.

It’s an industry which ha s probably generated trillions in value so it maybe a matter of perspective.
So what would you have done to end up in the alternate universe where it hadn’t cost humanity billions? Rational agents and perfect knowledge does not exist outside of economic theories.
