I didn't expect this to get much interest, but it's something that may have big effects in the world, and gives another reason to reduce the level of evil we are carrying while we still can.

From Bill Joy's famous Why the Future Doesn't Need Us (2000):

The 21st-century technologies—genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR)—are so powerful that they can spawn whole new classes of accidents and abuses. Most dangerously, for the first time, these accidents and abuses are widely within the reach of individuals or small groups. They will not require large facilities or rare raw materials. Knowledge alone will enable the use of them.

Thus we have the possibility not just of weapons of mass destruction but of knowledge-enabled mass destruction (KMD), this destructiveness hugely amplified by the power of self-replication.

I think it is no exaggeration to say we are on the cusp of the further perfection of extreme evil, an evil whose possibility spreads well beyond that which weapons of mass destruction bequeathed to the nation-states, on to a surprising and terrible empowerment of extreme individuals.

Note: the essay was published in Wired on April 1, 2000, but it's definitely not a joke. And honestly, I'd say his prediction has already come true. Considering the on-going "vaccine"-enabled genocide, can you disagree?
