Hi Technically Human listeners. This is a show about ethics and tech, but it’s also a show about what it means to be human. There is no area of being human in this moment that technologies does not touch.
I know that many members of this listening community have been deeply affected by the loss of life and the brutality that began with the Hamas attack on Israel and is ongoing in Israel and in Gaza. This is not a show about my politics. But it is a show that strives toward the ideals of diverse representation, and bipartisan collaboration toward ethical and humanistic ends.
In this dark moment, I wanted to elevate one of our previous episodes featuring United Hatzalah. United Hatzallah is a volunteer-based organization which provides emergency medical response within minutes of any medical emergency for free. They are committed to saving human lives independent of race, religion, ethnicity, or national identity. They are non political and non religious. United Hatzalah volunteers respond to more than 675,000 calls per year throughout Israel and beyond its borders, saving lives every day.
There are a lot of people in the region in need right now, and United Hatzallah is on the front lines. If you have the means, and if you want to support an organization that is working to save civilians lives, no matter what their religion, race, ethnic identity, or national identity might be, please consider supporting United Hatzallah.
Insight Partners, a global software investor partnering with high-growth technology, software and internet startups, is currently matching donations to United Hatzallah, up to $1,000,000. Please consider supporting this effort, if you have the means. The ideal of universal human rights is central to this show, and when I see the tech community driving toward that effort, I think it’s worth highlighting. That ideal is, and always has been, that human lives are human lives anywhere and everywhere, no matter which tribe they belong to, and that the global community has an obligation to protect those lives.
