        @sapinker could you see a scenario where we incentivize good behavior so much that it sniffles our creativity by removing needed friction?

        @sapinker Forced to behave. Maybe we should consider that before we are forced.

        @sapinker The status quo wants to remain the status quo and is willing to forego any neutrality and ethical conduct to do so. So what's new?

        @sapinker The Ars Technica 'banana test' seems like it may also benefit the issue. Too many responses are to what is assumed & not read.

        @sapinker what is negative or positive and what about false negatives and positives? Why not correlate bias with environment/education?
