RE: Philosophy 101, #9: Why do we need more discussions in the public sphere?

Great article. We should all be concerned with the current trend of not allowing debate and discourse from being had just because it might offend someone. The ability to freely and openly express oneself is the very backbone of our society and it is under attack from all sides.

Thanks! I'm also concerned about that. I totally agree with you that it's under attack from all sides and that freedom of expression and debate is the very backbone of our society. Just the other day, I wrote this down this note:

Never back down on leftists who want to control your speech, and never feel guilty for expressing your freedom of speech in their faces.

You cannot find a higher meaning to your life if you don't believe in the divinity of speech and responsibility.
