Then the Manhatten Project if there is to one should be to connect the 
minds of all humans so that the
underlying  causes of sociopathic violence evaporate.

It does not matter if it is biowarfare  on persons or material 
destruction of future marvels such as a space elevator
in large it  roots back to social unrest.

Restrictive laws, denial of access to knowledge, oppressive 
bureaucracies and repressive economic systems all contribute at one time 
or another  to social unrest.  Weird holy men are a miniscule group and 
hardly up to personally terrorizing the world.

The Mayor of Vancouver BC said a few days ago that it is the causes of 
drug use,  not the hunting down of providers
of illegal things  that should be the focus.  The media pointed out via 
story content  that it was a radical view that was not ready for public 
airing. 

The 300 plus billion spent in Iraq and Afganistan it has been pointed 
out could have been evenly and carefully distributed
to end some of the root causes of unrest.  But there is no money in 
giving things to people who will not generate a pay-back for a 
generation or so.... or is there...... less resources required for 
global security ( wind it down instead of up)
To compete with the money machine of military action and universal 
security measures the the alternatives must create
measureable paybacks.

If we want the singularity to be of any value the fabric of society must 
change.
