      The core Enlightenment principle supporting free speech is that the best counter to a bad idea is a good idea, with both openly expressible and debatable. This stabilizes society by making everyone think and engage. To censor is to divide and polarize.

      Empirically, reasoned debate does not seem to actually be effective at countering hate when it's too ingrained.https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/05/03/483264173/hate-speech-and-the-misnomer-of-the-marketplace-of-ideas …

      Here, an elite journalist bases their argument on the presumption that other people are stupid and can’t be trusted to make decisions about their beliefs. This view is in direct opposition to the principles upon which modern liberal democracies were founded.

          What does the word "elite" mean to you? Because unless I'm very much mistaken, you are far richer, more powerful, and more influential than an English professor at a public university.

          What’s gross here is for someone in a position of power or influence to use their resources to further deprive those with less influence of what little influence they now have. And in particular, a journalist using their platform to argue for the suppression of other journalists.

          The principle that people are perfectly rational and can always make good decisions on their own is in direct opposition to reality.

          Which is why people need to hear bad ideas debated and dismantled (by better thinkers), rather swept under the rug (remove the "redpilling" effect where people first hear about some ideas without any context or counterpoints and feel like they've stumbled upon The Truth).

          Mr. Sweeney, when you use the meaningless nonsense phrase "elite journalist", you appear as someone attacking the person and not their ideas, which you have just stated it is vital to debate if flawed. Surely you didn't intend it that way?

          I agree free speech is good but you should also watch the CppCon Dan Saks talk, good intro on how people decide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Sd8A6_fYU … and it's about engineers, presumably more educated than avg pop.

          "It's almost as if Nazis use liberal democracy's rules against itself to corrupt it from within! This is a very deep take and I am very smart."
