Greg's Presentation: Part 2
'Concerns about human nature are related across topics, but that doesn't mean they don't get cashed out in specific ways. You may find concerns drop out over time.'
We must think about the policy implication of what Erik calls 'non-physical' concerns, and work to translate these concerns into workable policy language. These frameworks should be optional, that we all find ourselves attracted to both proactionary and precautionary perspectives. People are welcome to contribute to one or the other or both.
The connection between concerns and how it translates to policy are complex, and may even be irreducibly complex. The project is a 'middling' approach. It deflates all perspectives to granting each as morally valid but deeply complicated as an integrated system.
