Just as being pro free speech means supporting speech acts you might not like or believe in, being pro innovation means supporting research and development in areas you might not like or believe in.

There need to be legal limits on both, of course, but the guiding principle of those limits should be reducing harm and protecting society, not what you happen to like or believe in.

The challenge of course is that this leads to a strong pressure to re-narrativize your pre-existing aesthetics as being deep wisdom about what reduces harm and protects society.

And the challenge is good. The challenge keeps us discussing and researching speeches and behaviors that are widely destructive and harm someone's freedom. There is no such thing as absolute freedom of anything. At some point, your freedom harms someone else.
