The red button power should not rest in an old jerk's hand where he can just convert it into an ice cream button.
Red button should be made public into voting whether it should be used or not and under what circumstances.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 Verse 12.
A karma yogi who has dedicated his work to God and renounced the results of his actions, gains peace. Whereas those who work without dedicating their acts to God, motivated by their own desires, get entangled.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 Verse 2.
Both paths I suggested lead to the supreme goal. But the path of karma yoga or action without attachment to results is better than renunciation of action to acquire knowledge.
