Completely agree. We need people from all sides to provide a balanced solution for society.
We should all absolutely resist creating a closed ecosystem where the only people who get to shape tech policy and regulation or public opinion ABOUT tech policy and regulation are the people who have been "inside."
That kind of paradigmatic capture is harmful in the extreme.

Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.

I’m doing a watercolour course where one of the challenges is to do a landscape painting in ten brushstrokes or less. This is the result and I honestly love it

You sleep beneath the ocean floor,
You dream of eldritch times before
When once you ruled the fervid Pleistocene.
Your visage blinds the mortal eye,
You live and yet eternal lie,
In aeons even death may die
