“I support free expression except for dangerous speech or lies.”
have you heard Sam Harris on Triggernometry? he actually says that Trump was so dangerous that even if Hunter Biden's laptop contained photos of the mutilated bodies of dead children, it still should have been suppressed to keep the idiot population from voting for Trump. was it a conspiracy to manipulate the election? YES!, he says, but a necessary one to prevent an even greater harm from befalling the nation. after all, Trump was orders of magnitudes worse than Hilary (who he admits was a terrible candidate), Biden (even though we all knew he was brain dead from the beginning), and Kamala (nothing to say here). so yes, it was essential to destroy democracy in order to save democracy.
i always thought that Sam Harris was pompous and full of himself. i never listened to his podcast and only suffered through him when he was a guest on other podcasts that i do listen to. but hearing this, i can only think that he is orders of magnitude worse than i thought
Not exactly a science moment, but certainly common sense that bears repeating.
You left out "hate speech"...
