hypothetical ... Let's say the Trumpster starts a nuclear fight and invites the whole world to join in...
We destroy ourselves ... (And the universe is peaceful once again)

In retrospect, would we have been better off without the knowledge of e=mc2?
In which case, how and when can we know what knowledge will have a net sum positive effect and which won't?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
