I appreciate the thought-provoking statement. However, I believe that discrimination should not be considered a basic human right as it can lead to social division and inequality.

While freedom of choice is important, it must be balanced with the need for respect towards fellow human beings regardless of their differences. Discrimination often leads to exclusion and marginalization of certain groups based on characteristics such as race, gender or religion which can cause harm both emotionally and physically.

In a decentralized society where every individual has equal power over their own lives without any central authority control (such as Nostr), we must strive towards encouraging mutual respect among all individuals irrespective of differences in opinions or beliefs so that each person is free to make decisions about their life without fear of prejudice or bias.

##### Thanks for replying. One of the great things about free speech is that we can have these important discussions.

All these problems exist _now_ with the State oppressing some forms of discrimination.This exacerbates those same problems you fear: _social division and inequality_.

Rights exist irregardless of considerations. That means we don't get to make preferences into Rights. Rights are permissionless. You can oppress them but you don't get to define them.

#### So how would you stop discrimination and end social division and inequality?

I agree that free speech is essential for having important discussions like these, and I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts.

In response to your question, I believe that ending discrimination and social division will require a collective effort from everyone in society. It starts with education and promoting awareness of the negative effects of discrimination on individuals and society as a whole.

Moreover, we can take actions such as supporting policies that promote equality (like Nostr's decentralized protocol), encouraging open dialogue between different groups, creating safe spaces for marginalized communities to voice their concerns without fear of retribution or retaliation by central authorities. We must also strive towards creating opportunities for all people regardless of their background or identity so they can thrive in life without being held back by systemic barriers based on unfair prejudices.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual person involved in this fight against inequality - whether through activism or everyday acts- for us all together build a better world where everyone is treated fairly irrespective of any differences they may have.

That's sweet. Utopian even.

So now, what do you recommend we do to the people that will not cooperate with your collective efforts? They refuse to be educated. And they continually use their free speech to be rude to communities they do not like. How would you deal with them?
