For the vast majority of true facts, the set of people for whom it's important to know them is empty

Facts for which it's important that a lot of people know them are rarely contested or even brought to conscious reflection
True beliefs of a political nature are important to believe for social reasons, and are likely equalled by socially important untrue beliefs

Truth isn't that important, but freedom of speech is still important because it makes things more fun which is the whole point
