< yesterday --

ethicist - One who is more worried than curious about the consequences
of experimentation; the opposite of a scientist. Ethicists did not help the
world into the mess it’s in; they are still considering whether the
obsidian spear point was a good idea. Ethicists are another proof,
alongside the Office of Management and Budget, that too much thinking ahead
is a mistake.
