Free Speech, the Overton Window, and Epstein.
Manage episode 271308368 series 2785890
In recent years there's been an attempt by some on the left to shift the parameters of 'acceptable' thought and discussion. Instead of disagreeing with speakers or the points they are making, there's an increasing tendency to try to prevent those speakers from being given a platform at all. To take one example, on university campuses, 'progressive' students have literally rioted, set things on fire, and physically assaulted other students and speakers on numerous occasions because the speaker or topic under discussion is deemed 'offensive', 'far right', 'extremist', etc, etc. Why is this the case, does it amount to censorship, and what are the implications for free speech? We discuss these points in this episode.
Also, did Epstein really kill himself? Hint - we have no idea.
