Perhaps Brad Smith can let us know when we live in a time when it's not true that all three branches of the US government, to pick on just one country, are daily disrespecting their oaths to uphold the constitution. And then we can talk about the efficacy of oaths. In other words, oaths aren't worth much in the real world, apparently, as much as we might like to think they should be. It would be troubling if Brad Smith isn't aware of this. He wouldn't be the first once-respected person to go off the deep end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Collins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Collins. I have to give Brad the benefit of the doubt and assume something was lost in translation; possibly he is being misquoted or quoted out of context. But even assuming we could agree on a shared, always-in-sync definition of harm, and even assuming oaths worked all the time, there are plenty of competent people, whatever label we give them, who will design and implement systems without having sworn any such oath, and countries and organizations (including DAOs) that will employ those people. And the first two assumptions are already a bridge too far.
