Campus “speech codes” & their witch-hunts against free speech cruelly discriminate against valuable neurodiversity:


True, he said nothing about liberalism, but lets not be disingenuous; these speech codes are in place because of liberal echo chambers. They certainly aren't conservative! That is for sure.

Do you disagree with him CE?

Neurodiversity is unimportant and should take a back seat to people's "feelings"?

You guys think he is losing his touch as a forward thinker with many accolades such that your opinion of the term > his?

This is the dude who came up with the word meme btw:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
A meme (/%u02C8mi%u02D0m/ MEEM) is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.[1] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[2]

The word is a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins.[3]

Don't liberals hold a circle jerk every time there's some article about physical difference in brain scans between libs/cons ?

was it physical differences or just saying liberals were smarter than conservatives or something like that?

I remember something that said conservatives driven by fear which affects how their brain works and forms their opinions or something like that.

But I get your point and it is likely pretty valid

Yeah it's kind of pathetic how censorship is now a far left thing. It used to be a far right thing to be for censorship, man has the times change.

Yes and no. I think there is some speech that simply isn't productive that I am fine with colleges suppressing on their campuses. Primarily it is dehumanizing type language though. Like when transgenders issues first came out calling tansgendered people "it" was pretty common. If you are calling someone an "it" they come into any discussion in a disadvantaged position.

Most other types of speech I am fine with. I view colleges as a place to share ideas but that requires a baseline level of respect to your fellow humans so they can bring their ideas to the market as well.

theguardian and huffpo, each requiring like 4 clicks to get to the meat of what he actually said. lol

"Hey, read several pages of commentary instead of just what Dawkins actually wrote or said"

No. Nor do I feel like having to line by line refute the idiocy that spews out of that site.

*clicks huffpo*
Holy shit they actually cite it, okay what's the offending tweet . . .
"rape is bad."

WOW WHAT A RAPE APOLOGIST!!!

"College campus liberals" doesn't mean liberalism and all liberals.

Stop being disingenuous!
Rekt!

Very Sad!


?

I mentioned liberal echo chambers on college campuses which is the same segment of liberalism and liberals espousing it he calls liberal hypocrites in his tweet.

But you claim this has nothing to do with that liberalism?

Richard Dawkins is referring to college campus safe space liberals. Not liberalism as a whole. Some dumbass 18 year olds don't reflect all liberals.

#notallliberals


So you agree he did implicitly mention a segment of liberalism correct?

What part of this sentence are you saying is incorrect?

True, he said nothing about liberalism, but lets not be disingenuous; these speech codes are in place because of liberal echo chambers.
