Someone stranded on a desert island, thousands of miles from all civilization, can say anything they want without repercussions. Their right to free expression is innate, part of being human.
- kelnos 3y agoHaving the ability to do something under restricted circumstances doesn't make it a natural right. If something is truly a natural right, then they should be able to exercise that right under any circumstances, in any situation.
- Georgelemental 3y agoThere are two requirements for something to be a natural right: - It must be something any human can exercise in the absence of outside interference by other humans; - Any such interference must be presumptively immoral. Freedom of expression meets both the empirical and moral requirements for being a natural right.
