If people are wildly optimistic and non-critical about deploying something that is destructive, I’m not sure that should be framed as a positive.

And continuing on this, if I am being critical of optimism in this scenario, that’s not ”slowing progress” or ”being backwards”.

This all reminds me of when people are understandably confused by ”negative” results in healthcare, when they can be the most welcome of news.

I doodled…

Line illustration of different scenarios being supported or resisted. ”Support” is represented by a cupped hand. ”Resist” is represented by the raised palm of a hand. ”Harm” is represented by a bomb. ”Wellbeing” is represented by a heart. ”Bad” is represented by a frowning face and ”Good” is represented by a smiling face.

The four scenarios are:

Support + Harm = Bad
Resist + Harm = Good
Support + Wellbeing = Good
Resist + Wellbeing = Bad
