Individuals that are psychologically well formed are totally armored against something as innocuous as verbal insults. Loosing Freedom of Speech for any reason, is, in practice, relinquishing to freedom of thought, hence a macrosocietal welcoming of totalitarianism.
Care about suicides? Make scientific studies and develop techniques to mass educate about compensating that issue in the individual level.

- kelseyfrog 4y agoIndividuals that are psychologically well formed don't feel the need to make verbal insults. Taking away their freedom of speech is inconsequential. Those who care about free speech should make studies and develop techniques to mass educate those about compensating that issue at the individual level.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoDo you believe in the scientific method?
- kelseyfrog 4y agoJust state how your conclusion follows from your premises. I know about Schopenhauer's stratagems.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoI don't remember Schopenhauer's stratagems it's just that I'm not feeling like investing in the communication that anti-realists, socio-constructivists and any of these cognitive frauds pretend to offer. So I ask beforehand to filter and save everybody's time.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoSame, I don't feel like communicating with people who pretend to not understand their participation in the reification of social objects.
