    Huh. Call me old-fashioned. But I would have thought that the point of a festival of ideas was to expose the audience to ideas. If you only invite your friends over, it’s called a dinner party. https://twitter.com/Alex_Lily/status/1036746235728801792 …

        Steve Bannon has more collars than ideas.

        I would argue that we’ve all been exposed plenty to Steve Bannon’s ideas and that giving him yet another platform from which to espouse his hateful ideology is itself an act of complicity in the propagation of said ideology.

        There is nothing new for Bannon to say and one more well-meaning editor challenging him isn’t going to be the magic spell that ends it. This is textbook paradox of tolerance, to maintain a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance. It wasn’t a good idea to invite him.

        Yeah let’s give the phrenology guy a platform to talk about genetics. He’s got a lot of “interesting” ideas.

        Gladwell has a very calming voice, like the guy who used to paint on PBS. But, most of his ideas don’t hold water.pic.twitter.com/FgpQucREVi

        White supremacy and toxic desire to destroy the democracy are not something you bring to a festival ideas. Those qualities obliterate the free and constructive sharing of ideas.

        You’re kidding, right? Do you invite members of the KKK to hear their ideas about white supremacy?

        Plenty of people should not be invited to a festival of ideas. Terrorists. Flat earthers. Nazis. Not all ideas are worth discussing.

        If we're simply talking about different approaches to economics, defense, social programs, fine, invite people from across the aisle. But DON'T invite people who base all their ideas on RACISM. Don't promote HATE. This is so important. So disappointed you don't grok that.
