> America may have issues but ultimately is a force for 'good' or at least they provide the safe, open and fair means literally for Google to exist. I'm not making arguments here, just pointing to how thorny that one is.
You're making a statement. You are saying "America is ultimately a force for good". America is definitely a force for the good of a certain set of humans. Whether it is a force for the good of the world (ie: the full set of humans on the planet) is certainly very questionable, especially in recent years.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoI specifically said 'some people may feel the opposite i.e. America is a force for good'. I'm not making a statement, I'm indicating that some may feel the opposite of the much touted group of G staff who don't want to do Mil Contracts. To be clear, I do think America is a force for good ... but still not sure if G should work on Mil contracts, I think it depends on the case. Intelligence gathering, AI in general, maybe communications, but I certainly wouldn't be supportive of designing weapons systems, or imagine things like 'first strike Nuclear weapons capabilities'. I don't think the line is arbitrary. I respect that everyone has feelings about that so my point is: it's tough for Sundar and Diane.
