"Hope Is a Lousy Defense.", Wired
 









Excerpts: Sun refugee Bill Joy talks about greedy markets, reckless science, and
runaway technology. (...)
I'm not saying the government should do it. Centralized strategies - things like
Admiral Poindexter's Total Information Awareness program - don't work. What I'm
saying is "physician, heal thyself." People in the various scientific
communities have to police themselves. (...) 

I certainly think a Hippocratic Oath for scientists would be useful. And I think
an essential part of getting control of technology will be for international
organizations to take a lead in promoting ethical scientific behavior. The
Pugwash organization's work on sensible nuclear policy is a strong example.
