"#FreeSoftware as a #guidingprinciple

I see software freedom as one of the principles to enable global and universal collaboration; as a #philosophy, it inspires us to work more openly and transparently. It also introduced me to what I see as a very radical notion: I can be more than a passive user of technology; I can be a creator, a maintainer. I can have an influence in the design of the things I—alongside the rest of society at large—use. I can be an #agentofchange."

Lauren Perseus Hickok, Presbyterian Church, Assembly Moderator. Here he agonizes over how, in many places in the US, it was impossible to even discuss the issue of slavery without getting assaulted. He says one is a traitor to humanity if one relinquishes the right to free inquiry and discussion of an important moral topic.

Might he be saying that “agreeing to disagree” and not reproving at the gate can be a problem?
