You wrote that you don't think that we're going to destroy the world with our inventions.

 

then you "prove" that point by giving useful inventions, and by showing that some new things benefit mankind. That's no proof. Proving your point would need some guarantee that nobody is gonna press the Big Red Button.

 

You can invent medicines and explore space as much as you like. When someone presses the Big Red Button, and someone on the other side of the Atlantic does the same, then it's all over... and as far as I know there is no 100% guarantee that it will not happen tomorrow.

 

And the ads on the website where you have your essay are ridiculously irritating.
