I suggest you research organizations like IAEA and EAA which create communities around managing the problem of “scary new technology” of nuclear and aviaton respectively (two just for example).

There are ways to manage “scary new technology” that are well trodden,

It does require people to let go of whatever pitard they have decided to commit to.

I think the IAEA and EAA would both agree with everything I've written. Can you link specifically to statements that you think refute me?
