And the correct answer is "none of the above"!

Humans are horrible at learning from mistakes. They repeat them over and over again saying "This will be the last." We don't know any better; technology merely allows us to probe into ever-smaller chunks of space and time, not improve our understanding of chemistry and biology. It's always going to be about the money, good intentions have been pushed to the "conspiracy scientists" like Tesla. There is a definite black and white, good and evil.
