[ExI] Morphological freedom and its limits

Unfortunately, if one makes laws based on a “guilty until proven innocent” basis like that, no freedoms will remain.

I propose the opposite. Assume our laws are already sufficient and change them only when there is an actual case of evident harm.

Most of what we fear from new technologies would just be hurting people with new tools. We don’t need to outlaw the tools if “hurting people” regardless of the tools is already illegal.
