If we destroy human rights and rule of law in the response to terrorism, they have won.
From Joichi Ito
I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.
The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship.
We have a long way to go before we are able to hear the voices of everyone on earth, but I believe that providing voices and building bridges is essential for the World Peace we all wish for.
Google is in an amazing position to be the target of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things for us on the Internet.
Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way.
There was a very convincing argument made that the extremists have won and the aggression is now supported by the majority, therefore fighting until surrender was the only alternative.
The idea of trying to fight against extremism was written off as naive.
I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea.
For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.
