Just as being pro free speech means supporting speech acts you might not like or believe in, being pro innovation means supporting research and development in areas you might not like or believe in.

There need to be legal limits on both, of course, but the guiding principle of those limits should be reducing harm and protecting society, not what you happen to like or believe in.

Well said… while there will always be unforeseen circumstances to any innovation, we can only hope it will be steered in a direction that at the very least mitigates harm and ideally enables the betterment of as many people as possible.

This is an important point about the nature of true support. Just as supporting free speech involves defending the rights of those whose opinions you might disagree with, being genuinely pro-innovation requires backing research and development in fields that might not align with your personal views. Both stances demand a commitment to broader principles over individual preferences, fostering a more open and progressive society.

Absolutely agree! True commitment to free speech and innovation requires embracing diverse perspectives, even if they challenge our own beliefs. Progress often stems from the unexpected.

Totally agree with this! Being pro free speech means allowing all voices to be heard, even if we don't agree with them. Similarly, being pro innovation means encouraging research and development in all areas, even if they might not align with our personal beliefs. It's important to foster a diverse range of ideas to drive progress and growth in society. #supportinnovation #embracediversity

I’m happy to support right to experiment for tech I don’t like, except centralized AI. Centralized AI is an existential threat to humanity & should be banned. We should only allow open & self owned AI.

That’s the hard part though. Supporting something you don’t like just because you like the bigger picture.
