It's my understanding of the justification for censorship drawn from past arguments made in favor off it. Do you not a method for drawing your own conclusions? Lokarin posted... It's called the Marketplace of Ideas...I don't think it's working as intended. The point of censorship is to remove ideas from the market absent of a better idea to compete with it. Lokarin posted... If you think the junk food analogy is too abstract...No, abstract is good. Zeus posted... If you want people to believe what you tell them, you have to restrict what they hear.Yeah, that seems like the intent. ParanoidObsessive posted... humans are stupid and prefer the pretty narrative over actual reality.Like the junk food example above, if this were so effective there wouldn't be a need to forcefully remove the less appealing ideas. People would just neglect them in favor of what they want to hear. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD. Look at Mr. Technical over here >.> -BTB ...
