    What are the top things universities could do to encourage a culture of free debate and inquiry, not just in the classroom but also in dorms and dining halls?

        Easier access to alcohol and drugs will only increase debate about what is the best Martin Scorcese movie.

        Which is the only debate worth having.

        Strange this same person @Yascha_Mounk , who is a modern day McCarthyist, wants to promote free speech.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1311693607162830849?s=20&t=kc-s9VL5Qu79aQkt3CHQRg …

        The boss of the NYT op-ed page was fired because he ran a controversial op-ed by a sitting U.S. Senator. But a few months later, a propagandist for an authoritarian regime gets to argue that a violent putdown of peaceful protests was needed in the same pages. This is just nuts. pic.twitter.com/qDW1jLNSnm

        Why so. Finding out ways to get access to alcohol and drugs is a source of compelling and witty debate.

        One thing that becomes clear as soon as you spend even a few minutes with archival resources is that when the drinking age was 18+, a _lot_ of extracurricular on-campus debates advertised free beer
