Is it right to share a new mathematical idea with theoretically extensive but unknown practical applucations? Like, if you have an idea for some but of math that could be used for everything from chemistry to social engineering to A.I. weaponry, is it right to share it? I mean, it could potentially be used to make things much worse, but it could also be used to make things much better. And of course, you might be inflating the whole thing - maybe the idea won't lead anywhere anyway.

I guess you pretty much just have to estimate the results, right? Chance of good times magnitude of good, versus chance of bad times magnitude of bad? :/
