    Ted McCormick Retweeted Adam Knowles

    Reminder that the “free thought” practiced and the “free speech” argued by Quillette revolves around resuscitating a narrow set of ideas as objects of endorsement. These ideas are in fact widely studied and accessible; they’re just not widely upheld. The latter is the issue.https://twitter.com/Adam_J_Knowles/status/1144319067651792902 …

    Ted McCormick added,

    Adam Knowles @Adam_J_Knowles
    @Quillette has a poorly written and researched article on #Schmitt and #Heidegger out. It is not worth the time to debunk in detail, but it is worth commenting on one issue re Heidegger and his dismissal of #Husserl. Sources: the archives of the @UniFreiburg

        Scientific racism, e.g., isn’t taboo in the sense of being a set of ideas people are afraid to discuss. There are shelves of books on the topic and more all the time. The issue for the Q set is that not enough people take it seriously as a way *they* should think about the world.

        Changing *that* isn’t making ideas accessible. It’s advocacy.

        Of course you are free to publish, e.g., scientific racism if that is important to you. Just don’t be shocked when that’s recognized as advocacy. You’re not free to force universities to endorse it or supply its adherents an audience. As for teaching about it, they already do.

        *When referring to this advocacy I put “free speech” and “free thought” in quotations. This reflects the fact that these phrases are being used as slogans here, and distinguishes that use of them from the principles they name.

        For Quillette, “speech is free” is true in the same sense as “talk is cheap.”

        The analogy I use is no one thinks it’s censorship that medical schools don’t invite Jenny McCarthy to lecture there. Seriously, using their stupid paradigm of what free speech is, they should see Andrew Wakefield as a victim of oppression. They don’t though.
