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?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@charlsgeorgeson I chose words *dictate*, *attendees* & *sponsors* precisely to allow wriggle room for sort of thing you're talkng about.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@PhilosophyExp Right...so why would it not be antithetical to free inquiry for the organisers of a conference to dictate a speech?4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@charlsgeorgeson Again, you need to be more accurate. I didn't say it wouldn't be antithetical for organisers, etc.
