Why Is FREE SPEECH Important?

Check out our GRAPHIC NOVEL on the new After Skool website afterskool.net/
A free society depends on exchanging new ideas, regardless of their potential capability of offending someone. Without the open exchange of ideas , our current understanding of the world would be unrecognizable and entirely false. Everything we know about the world- from the age of our civilization and species to the laws that govern energy and the complex workings of the body & brain - has come into being first by free speech, nurtured by the innovation of ideas, and curated into our collective knowledge if deemed worthwhile after withstanding the test of time.

    +Mason Buskirk That's a bit hyperbolic, this is not a first amendment issue. Colleges are private or semi-private institutions and they set the rules on campus. Having said that I think public funding (at least for liberal arts) should be withheld for colleges that suppress free speech on campus. It's not like these liberal arts activists were ever going to be useful members of society.

    Freedom of Speech is so the government cannot control what the people say. Some words should be banned, like screaming bomb at an airport. It's to protect the people from unnecessary discord or chaos, after all, while shopping for groceries, you don't want someone screaming "he's got a gun" making everyone panic and flee from no danger; to have no consequences. I'd like to live in a world where no one screams something dangerous as a joke, yet it has gotten so extreme that things like swatting exists. This creates the question, if words which is supposedly harmless, suddenly creates discord, should it get banned? Obviously, the answer should be no. If something like gay invokes a person into an outrage, the fault is the person, not the word. But, what if a lot of people get triggered by the word gay, is it still the persons fault? After all, it creates discord and we have rules set to prevent it. Even if we were to label banned words to be limited to words that express threat. Like you are only allowed to shout danger, if there is real danger. What would define that? If gay is a threat to who the person is, would that count? If human life and death is involved, then politically correct, crazy or insane would still be under the banned category. __________________________________________________________ I'm just being the devils advocate, the problem is not words, it's the people that judge them. People are stupid and they want to live in a world, they only know.

    Usually I would agree with you but in the cases you used to defend censorship were cases of scientific advancements and upsetting religiones. Science and innovation nowadays is celebrated and encouraged more than ever. The political correctness movement is going a bit far and turning into censorship but the types of words being targeted aren't those that would ever hinder scientific advancements and innovation, it targets words that promote divide and prejudice towards or between one another. So I don't think this video has a very good argument.

If that so, why are the words considered bad, instead of the person? Is deeming a person saying bigotry not enough? Would you consider it unreasonable for "banned" words to be used in discussions?

    No matter what i write in coment section,i will allways get coment warnings.Its just not fair,becouse we don't know,which words we are banned to write.And we are not talking here about few rude words,but the exchange of real life experience and truth by youtube.I write my coments on youtube for 10 years,and in that time i never get coment warning.Their is something else happening here,and it feels more like catholic feudalism,rather than 'etical guidelines'.Just think about it,who we know don't like freedom of speach,personal liberties,and different way of lifestyle.And this coment warnings has started during Covid crisis,but their root goes back to 9/11 2000,with patriotic act.And i have experienced my first unpleasant coment warning in october of 2022,and this will go forever,unless we don't sing online petition against coment warnings on youtube.PS:Beside i can't live in fear of coment warnings,since i'm epileptitian,and i get panicked just by one coment warning.And i'm not joking,i have allmost get heart atack.

    Is that really true? If KZread don't play ads on videos, they don't make money. Content creators must adhere to the bots, or they don't make money. So content creators have to censor what they say or show, in order to eat or pay bills. KZread is indirectly telling it's content creators what is allowed and what is not. It's like telling slaves they can leave anytime, they got the freedom to go! But if the slaves leave, they'll starve. It's very forceful, like an indirect law.

I do agree with your slave analogy though. But KZread actually earn more money doing this. Not putting ads on videos that are harmful or offensive that is, but they are doing it on too many videos now that aren’t even harmful. The companies that put these ads here don’t want their ads on offensive videos because they don’t want to be associated with that. So if KZread put their ads on there, they will just stop advertising on here. That will lead to KZread earning less money.

    It makes perfect sense for companies not wanting to be involved with bad content, but KZread censors are beyond terrible. They simply cannot distinguish good from bad, so, it's all bad until proven okay. HOWEVER it's still a terrible system, the good intent leads to a bad consequence. Censoring is still censoring, it's still controlling free speech despite the intentions being different. No excuse, it is, what it is doing. Looking the other way because the intent is good, is bad. For example, you were to build a dam to prevent yearly flooding, the flooding drastically limits activity of trade and creates building damage every spring. However, local fishing villages lost their rivers, thus losing income and work, not to mention permanently damaged the local ecosystem. You must be responsible, "wanting to do the right thing" is not an excuse for letting bad things happen. Sometimes you just have to suffer, for a long term, permanent, even pricey solution.

    The Australian runner who stood on the podium with the civil rights activists supported them, he wore a pin in unity with them and they wore his black leather gloves, that's why they had opposite fists hoisted in the air. You've animated him as if he's against their free speech when nothing could be further from the truth, he was even banned from competing for Australia afterwards and refused to apologise. He couldn't even get a job as a gym teacher and when they made a statue of the podium, the sculptor asked if he could use his likeness, he said to leave the space empty so others can stand with them in solidarity. His name was Peter Norman and he was a hero.

    Free speech is very important as we enable people to share information and ideas whether they are extroverted or introverted.. this essentially help people to express and understand and know the truth and boundaries and learn how we human can connect with one another around the world without direct face connection.. it’s mentally healthy to share than not.. which brings people out of the blocked bubble and come out and think outside of the box use of new vocabularies and learn expressionism .. it’s an incredible experience as a human being to do so ironically not all countries allowed,though even if it’s just a normal basic communication that eventually one get arrested which is sad

    Nicolaus Copernicus wasn't the one who discovered that the earth revolves around the sun, someone way before that was the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos and that was 18 centuries before in the third century B.C.E. However, even earlier speculation of this dates back to the 9th century B.C.E when the Indian philosopher Yajnavalkya(who was part of a Vedic Tradition which used mathematics and geometry in some religious rituals) wrote in a sacred Hindu text: “The sun strings these worlds - the earth, the planets, the atmosphere - to himself on a thread.” This is one of the first recorded references to heliocentrism.

    what u might think is objectivity is often times just a collective subjectivity (an intersubjectivity). a collective of subjects who share the same subjective opinion. it seems as concrete as objectivity but it is still flexible. being part of the subjective collective can provide you with benefits and it would be in your best interest to maintain that collective and make seem as concrete as possible.

    Last night someone had written an article online about how they weren't a rape culture, after years of me trying to talk about my abuses I've suffered on-line and with others with no acknowledgement or help. Yes they are, and let's establish who the 'they' are since everyone always asks. 'They' are the WASP's who raised children and manipulated their minds that weren't their own, and other disgusting non human things they are hand in hand with. They have horrible eyes, very cold eyes, and they are loveless, but are good at pretending they can be in the public eye. 'They' are about rules, manners, education and conformity, whereas real people are about love and equality and warmth and happiness. 'They' care about materialistic wealth, control, power, property, and are competitive and regimented. People like to have fun and share and enjoy each other's talents. People believe in freedom and free will and free speech, and they don't. 'They' enslave people, blind us, and sexually molested and abused us. 'They' are evil and 'they' refuse to acknowledge, or accept responsibility or allow victims to have a voice and seek true justice. 'They' not only sexualized children, they also made children molest each other. The rape of my life continued into my adulthood, and the last time I was violated I was terrorized, thrown to the streets and quickly realized the police were not going to help. They have done very disgusting things to my body, and I have the proof inside me, but I can't find a doctor human enough to acknowledge or help. 'They' ARE a rape culture, they are perverse and they are cowards who refuse to acknowledge what they are. I could write a list of assaults and abuses done against me by 'them' but there are less and less real people who care, and more of them who don't and prefer to deny or discredit victims. There are shameless idiots on the internet, on KZread and even on the news who are making up false claims and sensationalizing abuse they claim to have suffered, which is a slap in the face to real victims whom they refuse to give truth or justice, and have been isolated, terrorized and made to look insane or accused of false crimes. When 'they' say they're not a rape culture, I am convinced they have no ability to be honest, and they are deviants who have no morals, no shame and no integrity. In fact, I think they can't exist without raping or abusing someone or something in their lives, including life itself. They don't acknowledge the rape of people, they don't acknowledge the rape of children and they still haven't acknowledged the rape of nature and this planet. The very fact they deny us a public voice or justice is proof of how 'they' are nothing BUT a rape society and culture.

    We need freedom of speech,. but it needs to be balanced. There are some things that should be banned, such as hate speech, racism, bullying, sexism, incitement to violence. There also needs to be restrictions for national security, privacy and protecting people against slander. It is about finding the right balance between freedom of expression and preventing bullying, and threats to national security.

George Orwell was a little too early but now 39 yrs later one can easy see we're heading that way, which makes me sad! To have Big Brother control everything is not my kind of life...forbidden to read books, not allowed to have faith, not allowed to show feelings or look anyone in their eyes. Then what have we become? Most of us hopefully will be shifted on to the next level of existence 5d before Antichrist is in charge and One World Government . Even tho it goes fast now, they talk about 2030! Pray and follow your life Path number to know what you are here to do in this life and become spiritual with faith, that's what we are here to learn, who we are 🙏💞 God Loves Us ALL!

    Last year, 400 people were arrested in Russia for the words they said on social networks. How many people do you think were arrested in the UK for making statements on social networks last year? 3300. One example is a young 19-year-old woman from Liverpool - Chelsea Russell. Her friend died in a car accident and she posted the lyrics to his favorite song on Instagram. It was a rap and the words "nigga" were in the song. She was arrested, convicted, found guilty and sentenced to 500 hours of community service and a fine. in Ukraine, according to the office of the Prosecutor General, more than 24,000 people were arrested for words last year.

    I thought I understood free speech because I applied the more appealing notion that sells it better by imagining oneself being able to say something without being censored (or repressed, forbidden etc.) until I read the less appealing but more realistic and effective quote of Robert J. Samuelson: “Free speech is not speech you agree with, uttered by someone you admire. It's speech that you find stupid, selfish, dangerous, uninformed or threatening, spoken and sponsored by someone you despise, fear or ridicule. Free speech is unpopular, contentious and sometimes ugly. It reflects a tolerance for differences. If everyone agreed on all things, we wouldn't need it.” Then when I think of REAL free speech I don’t imagine a kind of hero trying to say something that I agree with that helps confirm my own ideas, I imagine someone trying to express something that I DO NOT agree with and I don’t like, trying to express something that I think I know it is not true who tries to induce it onto others. In that way I can REALLY know if I am really being in favor of free speech or I fall for the false alternative (“you have only the right to say what we already think it is true and moral/ethical”). Of course that as long as it doesn’t call for the physical harm of others (that is in tune with the same humanistic values that hold the real free speech).

    Freedom of speech is an amazing thing. Everyone has the right to voice their opinions and speak their minds, as long as they are not meant to be offensive. If you don't like someone or something, it's okay. You are free to like who/whatever you want to like. However, there is a difference between voicing an opinion and insulting someone. No one has the right to insult another person just because of religion, race, looks, sexual orientation, personal views and preferences which are not meant to offend anyone etc. People should only be judged because of their personality.

    Just because someone says something that offends you doesn’t mean they did on purpose. And just because something someone says offends you doesn’t mean it isn’t true. And while you might expect someone to apologize if they accidentally offend, that doesn’t mean they have an obligation to recant what they’ve said if it’s true. I’m not suggesting a free pass for people who go around completely inconsiderate of others feelings, but I am suggesting that while limitless free speech may or may not be a human right, going through life without ever being offended by anything is definitely not.
