RE: The 'Innovating To Zero' Initiative
That's an interesting concept, and one I haven't heard before either. I share your skepticism about being able to define parameters around it though. I'm sure some would argue that "zero immigration" is a desirable end state.
It's probably much easier to define in the areas of manufacturing and business logistics, but even there might be competing priorities, now that I'm thinking about it: "zero taxes" vs "zero illiteracy". Maybe it's all dependent upon perspective.
I think that your examples of immigration and taxes are great. People need to be careful about immigration issues because there are people from their home country that provide extreme value to their host country - with proper permissions and documentation.
In regards to taxes, no one wants to pay, but everyone wants to receive benefits. Thanks for adding to the conversation!
Are there things we can define as "bad" according to everyone's definition? Zero disagreement is not desirable, but zero cruelty is. And how we get there matters. Solving the underlying problems rather than treating the symptoms.

There are things that should be fairly easy to agree upon, like zero cruelty and zero war. But I think your statement about addressing the underlying problems is key. If we don't address the causes of cruelty and war first, we will not see any progress.
