Surely there's more to it than that. Promoting intellectual curiosity indeed. The entire thread is a celebration of toxicity. A narrow view resulting in the widest possible generalization.

Headline says terrorism, but the content speaks to the ongoing war on disinformation/misinformation and the truthiness meme. These both boil down to the premises of censorship and an infallible expert class. Perhaps a better title woul
