Your unnecessary mental masturbation aside, Mill would never call an idea (or speech, to be precise) “dangerous” — ever under the most lax of definitions. I’d invite any evidence to the contrary.
- anigbrowl 6y agoYour red herring is stale and unappetizing. The statement you took issue with was I think Mill either ignored or did not anticipate just how dangerous a viral bad idea can be on a global scale. Nobody argued that Mill held ideas to be dangerous; if anything, that is being suggested as a shortcoming of Mill's philosophy. There is no good reason to solicit evidence for a proposition which nobody was making to begin with.
