If you are talking about being ignored as a social repercussion, you are wrong -- nobody is entitled to force opinions onto others. If they don't like you, they can ignore you as much as they want, that's freedom. What you propose

The broad picture you painted is that society nowadays is somehow more free because less people disagree with your views. That's absolutely incorrect and has nothing to do with the concept of academic freedom to boot. I'm getting

Once again -- this has nothing to do with academic freedom. Are you trying to derail the topic on purpose?

Science should be performed in a vacuum, that's the whole point. Its applications, on the other hand, are not to be performed in a vacuum.

That's academic fraud, a different thing.

Since I'm myself Russian and residing in Russia, I'd be glad to verify your statements as you weren't kind enough to provide prooflinks. > They jailed many thousands of protesters for the same thing. The same thing being &

The original commenter did not mention being banned from any academic discussions -- his freedom was not infringed. It is the other people's freedom to ignore him that he wanted to infringe. He wanted to force other people to engage

Say what? People should be allowed to disagree with you and even ignore you, that's what freedom of speech is about, be it in academia or wherever. What you imply should be the norm is a "safe space" -- which is the opposite

What am I insulated from? Academic freedom? Vacuum? Social derision? Mayhap I am indeed dumb, but I don't follow your line of reasoning. What your original comment distills to is that you were socially shunned for holding certain opini

There is no academic context here in the parent comment, only social context. This example would fit the topic if it were about writing a thesis on reparations that was rejected or if the author was actively dissuaded from writing it.

Well, Wikipedia article on the concept is titled "Unity of opposites". Anyway, I just don't understand how dialectics has anything to do with what is being discussed. Division is opposite of both unity and synthesis.

Your example has nothing to do with academic freedom whatsoever.

To put it differently, we feel rather than think.

Dialectics teaches about unity of opposites so I don't see how it fits here.

Groupthink has (or should I say had) an evolutionary advantage. And the modern world seems to be bent on exploiting those atavisms rather than helping abolish them. Knowledge is power, that's why I believe that applied psychology shoul

And why would I believe what MSM says on the matter concerning the "enemy" state? A quick google shows that this particular propagandist item was planted quite a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayil

Of course it's true -- it states that something could happen. Therefore, it's true whether or not that happens, that's basic discrete mathematics. But the thought was planted and that is what counts in the end. That's

More Cold War propaganda. Sadly, we are going to see much more of it in the coming years. China, Iran, Russia and whoever supports them are going to be routinely smeared from head to toe by the MSM, of which BBC is one of the most egregious

Well, this video has Dr. Wily's stage music from Megaman II, so it fits into the nostalgia vibe, though only as a single piece of a big puzzle/rug =)
