Is it? How?
EDIT: I was asking not because I disagreed, but because I was hoping the parent would elaborate on that point. The person who replied to my post did a very good job at that.
- BellsOnSunday 11y agoBecause being listened to in a reddit discussion isn't a right that anyone has and not having it doesn't hold anyone back in any way. My views wouldn't go down well on a religious forum. Am I bothered? Do I look bothered?
- rdancer 11y agoI defer to your judgement as to whether your views would prevail, but at least the people who want to should be allowed to listen to them. And if it weren't too much to ask, I would hope for a free discussion of ideas to ensue. Why do I want to listen to you? Because I hope that you're not an idiot. And because I have time and again seen well-meaning intelligent people be very wrong about things they thought were indisputable. That's precisely what the article talks about, and reddit is a great way to experience the kind of bigoted dogmatism the article discusses.
