“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Maybe we should be less preoccupied with whether our tech billionaires could find a ginormous NIL and think more of whether they should.

BTW, I enjoyed Jurassic Whatever quite a bit, even though it requires a willing suspension, not simply of disbelief, but intelligence, memory critical thinking, and almost every other cognitive faculty.
In my view, the pick of the litter continues to be 'Everything . . .Everywhere . . . All at Once', even though it is so insanely creative it wears you out.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
