Boomers have been in power for a long long time and the technology we are debating is as a result of their investment and prioritisation. So am not sure they are very afraid of it.
I didn't say they were afraid of the technology, I said they were afraid to admit that they don't understand it enough to legislate it. Their hubris in trying to preset a confident facade in response to something they can't comprehend is what will end us.
