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? #[3]
Bringing this to my end point which will be an unpopular opinion.
I believe humanity needs to accept what we are as a species. Regardless of societal ‘norms’. The next and inevitable step in maturity will be space exploration. What we are trying to do is survive as a race.
If we don’t even get off the planet and cease to exist we deserved it.
If we cant learn to treat each other in a prosperous way we run the risk of meeting a more advanced race that will see us as a universal threat and choose to end humanity itself. And we deserved it.
In real talk if we don’t quit being dicks to each other we will all die.
If we give free information to everyone and we all die it’s because we are still being dicks.
The end scenario is - If we cant quit being dicks we will all die And we deserved it.
