I'm a public-interest technologist whose values are based on the U.S. Constitution... that makes sense.
Oh, goodness, no. It doesn't serve the public to enslave a minority and consider them to be 3/5 of a person. It doesn't serve the public to only consider men as being worthy of the right to vote. It doesn't serve the public to impose a winner-take-all governance when 49% of the people oppose the result (or, for some heavily-lobbied issues, upwards of 95%). Even though the Constitution got a lot of things right, it is still a document of political power, and should not be used as the basis for what is in the interest of the general public. The same holds true for doctrines of religious power.
But there is one system of thinking that is true not only in the US, but in Mainland China, Iran, and Israel. And any other place you care to mention. It's Science. People who deny it and favor pre-scientific ideas do so at their own peril, and often with deadly consequences to the public's interest (I'm especially looking at you, antivaxxers). Move beyond being a "Patriot" if you really want to pursue public-interest technology.
