I love people.

I don't love ideas that hurt people.

I don't love that some people love ideas that hurt people.

I don't love that some people will hurt people because of ideas.

The worst thinkers come up with ideas that benefit some, not all.

I think healthy community all boils down to this struggle:

If this struggle is not at the root of an idea then the idea must be abandoned.
