so in the thread he talks about;how ideas can be lightning rods' He says
>That is just an unpleasant, inconvenient truth that all of you (regardless of your political leaning) need to accept about speech. Ideas really ARE powerful, and like anything else that is powerful, yes, they can be DANGEROUS.
thats the basis of free speech and the reason some people want to protect it. These guys dont agree with it and thats fine. I mean there are good reasons someone might disagree with free speech. But I mean be honest, be honest about what the debate is. Dont say you support free speech but some ideas can be dangerous. Just say you dont agree with giving everyone free speech at all times and have an honest conversation about that instead of spewing that silicon valley doublespeak
