Free Speech

Most people will recognise far left and far right propaganda and nonsense. Some won’t though.

However, we need to allow all voices the opportunity to speak out. Unless they are breaking a hate speech law in the country, we must let people speak.

I don’t enjoy hearing certain perspectives, but they have a right to speak. If enough people think it makes sense, their philosophy may win the day. That is the way it goes. The best ideas win.

Listen to what people want. Most people want very similar things. Oftentimes people can’t communicate what they want or they misunderstand what others are trying to say.

Go listen to people holding different views than you: True diversity. Listen to what they say, not what you think they would say.

What Is The Price For Free Speech?

For some, they paid the ultimate price.

Many take it for granted.

There are also many that have, lucky for them, never even thought about it. They’ve never had too.

Elon Musk is attempting to buy Twitter for $43bn as a proxy for free speech. He is a purist. He seems to believe everyone can have a voice and people should not be censored. Why not?

The Twitter Board doesn’t like it. They rejected the offer. What exactly they didn’t like is hard to tell. That they will likely lose their jobs? That they will lose their power to control who speaks and what they can say? Or that they think, despite a failing business model, they can turn this company around and make it great again.

Get the popcorn, this is interesting.
