@aral @CEMB_forum @RanjeniM really? So the idea of freedom doesn't deserve respect or of universal human rights?

@naziasmirza
@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM Not for the very fact of their existence. They deserve respect because we can defend them using reason. -
@aral@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM so it's not that all ideas don't deserve respect just ones that can be defending with 'reason' whose reason? -
@naziasmirza
@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM I believe I was clear. Sorry if I wasn’t. Ideas do not deserve respect, they must earn and keep respect. -
@aral@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM and exactly how do ideas earn and keep respect? -
@naziasmirza
@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM See philosophy, ethics, debate, and the scientific method. -
@aral@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM erm see patronising & stereotyping

@aral@FriedrichHayek@RanjeniM and how exactly you separate people from their ideas? -
@Leonidfainberg@FriedrichHayek@RanjeniM I reject the premise of your question. We are not born imbued with a set of inextricable ideas. -
@aral@FriedrichHayek@RanjeniM furthermore, wouldn't such a separation make any moral judgment impossible? -
@Leonidfainberg@FriedrichHayek@RanjeniM Separation=straw man. No need to separate to challenge one without violating dignity of the other. -
@aral@FriedrichHayek@RanjeniM There is no dichotomy between man and his ideas. Man deserves as much dignity and respect as his ideas do

@aral@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM Not always. People don't deserve respect if they say or do evil things. -
@paulie_paulie@CEMB_forum@RanjeniM We still treat them w dignity. We have laws & justice systems. Otherwise we lose our own humanity.

@Atticus_Amber@memneon@MaajidNawaz Very little is new :) It shouldn’t be the criterion by which we judge ideas. https://ar.al/notes/islam-is-privilege … -
@aral@Atticus_Amber@MaajidNawaz Noble sentiments. The problem is free speech and racism are not easily separatedhttps://medium.com/@steveturnbull/je-suis-charlie-et-je-suis-musulman-1e791e392b0c …
