Ideas for Shaping the Future Technology Policy
by Mark Beall
Welcome and thanks for joining. My name is Mark Beall. I'm an average American, tech start-up CEO, and former senior U.S. defense official. This blog is my platform for sharing ideas and philosophical considerations regarding the application of the U.S. Constitution to digital policy. As American innovators drive science frontiers forward, our policies must evolve at the same pace. Here, I aim to share insights on how we can uphold and protect our Constitutional principles amidst these transformative advancements. Underwritten by the values of intellectual curiosity, humility, empathy, and the immutable principles of human nature, I seek to promote technically informed policy consistent with Constitutional values, self-restraint, and prudence. The best policies come a political landscape where diverse ideas are allowed to compete productively. This means moving away from a black or white view of the world and the associated narrow-mindedness, cynicism, and overconfidence that comes with it. Join me in this vital conversation to safeguard our constitutional legacy in the age of digital revolution.
