"It seems there must be something in our human DNA, something that
hasn't been filtered out over the generations, that causes the masses to
engage in moral panics. When you peruse our previous posts about moral
panics new and old, it highlights how laughably absurd they tend to be."

Moral panics are caused by fear of new things.  New things may have
downsides, but they also have important benefits.

Share and enjoy,
