 The [[Common Good]] consists of our shared values about what we owe one another as citizen who are bound together in the same society, the norms we voluntarily abide by and the ideals that we seek to achieve. If there is no [[Common Good]] there is no society.<ref>Robert Reich, ''The Common Good.'' (2018-02-02) Chap 2 ISBN 978-0525520498</ref>

 * Computer Engineering and Science courses in the university have tried to teach [[Ethics]] for some time, but that effort has appeared to devolve into simply talking about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which has led to it rejection of the approach by some political parties.

 * Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.</blockquote>

 ===The Evil Power of Big Tech===
 The above declaraion really only applies to the technorati of the world. The rest of humanity has not fared well at all with the new technology. We are now at a place where health care is woeful under funded, but new technology is perversely over-funded. This places enormous power over the fate of society into the hands of the technorati who are mostly interesting in creating a society that works well for them, but is not very inclusive. "Inspired by bitcoin's design, technologists are building alternative sites that are much harder to control."<ref>Nathaniel Popper, ''Social Networks without the Power of Big Tech'' New York Times. (2021-01-27) page B1.</ref> In other words the technorati are building sites that not even they can control. How can that work well for anyone?

-* Lots if efforts have been make to filter "disinformation" from social commentary. These sound like [[Censorship]] and like censorship, have never really worked well.
