Yes, although assuming we have free-will (and it's not all pre-determined a la David Hume's billiard balls) we have to have an attempt at thinking policies through, and also having the humility to re-consider them if they prove to be clearly wrong like in the fixed-rents example many give.

If you believe in chaotic variance then the latter is even more important I reckon. Myself I think it's more Pythagorean repeating vibrations layers over layers, and we're probably on the cusp with machine-learning of being able to code past some of the seeming chaos. Hopefully it'll feel more like finding fractals within the rainbow than just unweaving the rainbow.
Yes, every technology from fire onwards can be used for good and bad. AI is likely very significant. Half the time I feel like going full smash-the-mechanical-loom luddite, and the other half I see genuine hope and progress in the area.

Change is inevitable, progress isn't.
