For example, it's pretty obvious that a full scale nuclear war is a really bad idea. Because we know this we have to make choices to make sure this doesn't happen. But the same thing applies to anything and everything else that might lead to our extinction like if we overheat the planet, poison the planet, or overpopulate the planet.

Similarly, we are looking at how the Internet will be structured in the near future. For example, do we as a world community allow nation states to spy on us, record our phone calls, read our email, and exert domination over us by creating a two level society where there are the watcher class and the watched class? Where does that model lead? Is that in the interest of positive evolution or the global public good?
This kind of activity could create global slavery where everything we do is watched and scrutinized. A world where inspired innovation stops and be become part of a global hell that only good science fiction can depict.
By creating the right kind of moral infrastructure we can have the language to make the arguments as to why an Orwellian society isn't our best choice and we can make that argument in objective terms that link back to the positive evolution of humanity and what that objectively means.
