The idea it is acceptable for conference attendees (or sponsors) to dictate the content of presentations is antithetical to free enquiry.

@PhilosophyExp Seems to me in that case you'd want the attendees to dictate the content of the presentations, wouldn't you?
@charlsgeorgeson Why? (Rather than it simply being the case you wouldn't be asked again.)

@PhilosophyExp ...seems quite similar to people 'dictating the content' of my speech. -
@charlsgeorgeson I chose words *dictate*, *attendees* & *sponsors* precisely to allow wriggle room for sort of thing you're talkng about. -
@PhilosophyExp I'm confused as to why the attendees dictating the content of a speech is bad, whereas it's ok if the organisers do it. -
@charlsgeorgeson I didn't say it was bad. I said it was antithetical to free enquiry. We can have this convo, but you need to be accurate. -
@PhilosophyExp Right...so why would it not be antithetical to free inquiry for the organisers of a conference to dictate a speech? -
@charlsgeorgeson Again, you need to be more accurate. I didn't say it wouldn't be antithetical for organisers, etc.

@PhilosophyExp Second, if the organisers knew after inviting me that I was going to deliver a speech full of racist slurs, then PoC...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@PhilosophyExp would feel pretty horrible as a result, and the conference would be less good for everyone.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
