Nailed it. Too often demanding “radical free speech” is code for “I want to say unsavory things without social consequences”
Too often people who want more 'social consequences' for saying 'unsavory things' would have been the first to burn Giordano Bruno at the stake for saying the Earth goes around the Sun.
(1/4) I think the comparison between a few cancelled colloquium talks and literally burning scientists at the stake is missing some relevant nuance. I'm also not calling for "more" social consequences here, if anything I said gave that impression.
(2/4) My point is that calls for (and discussion surrounding) "radical free speech" often come with hidden implicature that speech ought not be subject to criticism. Then we're just shuffling around which voices we silence.
I remember learning about him on The Cosmos...and good point :-)
