> So please join our community if you, too, share our founding values: - We seek to build a free society in which all individuals get to pursue a meaningful life irrespective of who they are. - We believe in the importance of the social practice of persuasion, and are determined to defend free speech and free inquiry against all its enemies. - We seek to persuade, rather than to mock or troll, those who disagree with us. A free society is worth fighting for. And the best time to start is now. Am I missing something, or is a publication called Persuasion not speaking out against coercion, which is its opposite? It seems to be fighting for some ill-defined "free society" with specifics in freedom of speech and inquiry.
