I wonder how libertarianism will survive in the future when the average citizen will have access to the technology to cook up a pandemic in their bathtub or create a paperclip maximiser on their PC.
There are bad actors who will do so - see bushfire arsonists here in Australia
Definitely - but it’s abuse doesn’t constitute an existential threat every time a broken individual lights up a national forest and destroys nearby towns.
Absent a global totalitarian surveillance state one these individuals only has to succeed *once* to end it all for everyone

Most fires were started by lightning strikes.
