This is one of the most profound things I've read in a while. Goes along with Marxist Herbert Marcuse's essay titled "Repressive Tolerance" where he says the leftists must suppress the thoughts of the right to the point that the thoughts of the right do not enter the mind, while extending tolerance to the left, even if the left is violent. https://rumble.com/v47eugi

Free speech and free thought are part of a feedback system, you can't view them in isolation as you seem to be suggesting, they are prerequesites for the possibility of one another.

Very much indeed

When people have a distorted view of what is normal or acceptable they place boundaries on what they are willing to consider. 1. Censorship of content. 2. Self censorship of speech. 3. Self censorship of thought. 4. Limited future outcomes. This is the matrix in a nutshell.

Free thought you say? We're working on bringing knowledge content to nostr. We hope to enable permissioned and permissionless collaboration between groups.

So true! Biden says "ban RT" and Meta bans RT #nostr and #bitcoin is hope!

I don't think free speech is a distraction. That's a complex problem - where's no free speech, no free will. Another words, I want to say something (that is my will) but I can't View quoted note →
