The scariest thought I had was, what if some people consider high intelligence to be a civilization level thread?

I obviously don't mean it in the usual "smart people are harder to control" but in a much more sinister way. Because it was intelligence and education that brought us the A-bomb. And now, it brought us CRISPR. So, it wouldn't be entirely irrational to be afraid of smart people having access to an education good enough, to be dangerous.

Because just with a bit of electronics, programming and chemistry knowledge, there is no reason to not assume backyards ballistic rockets.

The letter contained:

NO statement how that data will be collected (anonymous? Stored directly next to my name in their database?)
NO statement about whether the conclusion of such surveys will be published (i.e. will it only be published if they like the results?)
NO statement about what these questions will be like (possibly loaded questions where any response could be interpreted as something I did not mean)
NO statement about whether this is handled by a third party institution (which may be unbiased) or the same people who have arrested me.

I will not participate in a silly survey about my arrest. This is the dumbest thing ever. Only the police could come up with this.
