My respect for Foucault grows, particularly as a I learn of his affection for “Parrhesia“ (“frank speech”). Contrary to the caricature of him on the right, Foucault struck out for the truth spoken unembellished & w/ risk to self. Derives from Nietzsche. Trump like this.

“That is to say, it seems that the truth is for Foucault a moral value or a good one ought to pursue. Parrhesia is the supreme act of self-legislation because the risk and danger involved in the act tests one’s self-discipline and courage in their commitment to the truth.“
