But there are some X ideas that really shouldn't be up for debate.
-
-
-
Ideas that aren't particularly important to get right?
-
No. They are some quite important and impactful ideas that shouldn't be up for debate.
-
Then how will people know they are important and impactful? If we can't argue for them?
-
I'm not in favor of censorship; I'm for nearly 0 restrictions on free speech. But some ideas not worthy of engaging, e.g., the Earth is flat
-
Then don't engage with them. No need to get in the way of people who think it matters.

Scary that people think that not only that certain subjects shouldn't be up for debate, but that this censorship can be justified.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant against bad ideas. Darkness gives them the ideal conditions to grow and spread.

The Millian view of free speech demands exposure to a full-throated defense of every contestable idea. This seems to have been lost.

"X is not up for debate" is just like a cop saying "this is not a request!" while trying to intimidating you into obeying an unlawful order.pic.twitter.com/JD8jhpWqoP

It depends I guess, ridicule & ignoring are also methods to counter bad ideas.

Incidentally does anyone know if they made a good case for colonialism

To some extent they must have. That's why the response is "don't debate them" instead of "here's what they got wrong..."
