People look at disabled people when I hang out with friends and there are severe discriminations against them.
In which degree of severity?
Not really.
A bit.
Umm… I wanna push them.
Do you dislike disabled people too?
Do you feel uncomfortable with them?
What would you do if the bus leaves late to pick up the disabled people?
Soldier was sitting in the subway. Does this make sense?
Why can’t they sit on the seat?
Why can’t they sit on the seat?
Is the soldier sitting in the subway seat a bad soldier?
Why did you dislike him?
Should soldier not be with people?
No way!
That can’t be! Soldier should stand up.
Soldier should act like soldier. What are you talking about?
Yeah. I saw a soldier in the subway and he was an eyesore.
Umm…. True soldiers should be only with soldiers.
Of course!

Is it weird?
Why are you sensitive to lesbians?
Why do you hate lesbians?
Why?
To be honest, I am sensitive to these words.
I’m sorry to be sensitive, but I really hate them.
They sucks.
They are freaky.
Is this the innovation we want?
What is just innovation?
What is justice?
On Just Innovation
The Ambiguity of the term “Justice”
Justice
What Justice?
Retributive
Legal
Distributive
Jus ad bellum
… etc
Candidates
ELSI: Ethical, Legal, Social Issues/Implications
Diversity
Equity
Inclusion
Openness in Opportunity
… etc
Remaining Problems
ELSI: Ethical, Legal, Social Issues/Implications
Diversity
Equity
Inclusion
Openness in Opportunity
… etc
-> What Diversity? The problem of “Labeling”
-> controversial concept
-> boundary problems
-> enough?
Some people might say…
Too ambiguous to apply to innovation !
No need to pre-think about justice issues in innovation !
Keep distinction between science and society !
Nevertheless...
Obvious injustice from innovation
“Concept of injustice” is comparatively clear.
The value of Justice (or Just Innovation) discourse itself
We cannot even reach the ultimate answer !
Meaningless and boring !!!
