Its the crawl before walking argument.

You need to invent transistors before you can invent the computer.

If you went back in time when transistors were invented and told them to be careful, those might lead to a global computer network controlled by social media companies that will enslave you. They would look at you like your crazy. And yet there was sci-fi stories at the time about future computers.

So, on one hand, yes I'm making a leap. But on other, it isn't completely crazy. Not so crazy to dismiss.

The egg is on the same technology path. But yes, humans are far off.
