hodl.che on Nostr: I’ll respond with a few Socratic questions: is there such a thing as ‘true’ ...
I’ll respond with a few Socratic questions: is there such a thing as ‘true’ self and how do we know? What is it? What is the next level of human maturity and why does it depend on us finding our true self?
Finally, what if freedom of speech comes at a cost of other freedoms?
FWIW, I’m not proposing necessarily someone else decide what you can or can’t say. At the very least sometimes maybe self censorship is considerable?
Appreciate your good faith engagement and argument (genuinely). My counter to that is, what if the stakes of the action you are trying to prevent is SO high that talking about a ‘response’ is silly? I.e. nuclear bombs and existential bio weapons.
Imagine if tomorrow someone invented a type of bomb that you can make in your back yard and has the power of a nuclear bomb. Should we just publish that information freely on the internet? I feel like self censorship of that information should at least be considered?
