It is better to encourage mechanisms for protective shielding in the fashion
of Singularitarian sysop rather than destructive punishment. In this
context, despite Mutual Assured Destruction arguments, it would be better to
concentrate on ABM systems and unmanned fighter aircraft along with laser
systems etc.

Does anyone think the US has been working on the theory of anti-matter
bombs? The thought struck me the other day... [Scientists at the European
Particle Physics Laboratory, on the Franco-Swiss border, have now set up the
world's first anti-matter factory, one of them, Professor Frank Close, told
the annual science festival in Wales. Nine atoms of anti-hydrogen were
produced just over a year ago. Now, the new factory will produce them at a
rate of more than 2,000 atoms per hour, Close said.... 1998]

Also, conentrating on forgiveness and fixing up the structural problem is
always a good idea. Also remembering that all human beings are living,
breathing, thinking, feeling entities is not bad. Remembering two wrongs
don't make a right is excellent. Maintaining a higher moral and ethical
stance when you don't have to is a sure sign of advanced ethical mechanics.
