Danger as ive described before, is an external force, perhaps the most useful development conscioussness imbues us with, is the ability to concieve of danger. When we engage in the project of staying safe (a project that is ascertained by the asthetical sensiblity). And now once most of us agree it is beautiful to eliminate a certain degree of danger, then we can engage in Kant's imperatives, this I believe is the most beautiful moral theory that gives us the hardest and most useful universal lines which we should not cross, but let us not forget tht it was first precipitated by our motive, the tools themselves are not the task, as useful as tool looks to accomplish a task, do not confuse the project generator (the creator), with the project itself (the invention or mental structure), there are less hard moral views which one might find just as compelling because they appeal to other elements apart from rationality.

I think it valid to assess danger into classes, there is personal danger, and system threatening dangers. A certain level of personal danger, ie. Things that prejuidice individuals, i think this is acceptable to some extent, but anything that threatens to collective system entirely is certainly too extreme to tolerate, it threatens to negate all the beauty we have achieved thus far, if cannot afford to play with this danger, so we would reach a more beautiful state by removing it.
