Fools hate knowledge

Proverbs 1:22 “How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?”

 

“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.” – Socrates

 

What happens when reasonable discourse is censored by an increasingly authoritarian system? During Covid, they said, “Follow the science.” Yet, as with climate change, a person can only have one side to the story. Nowadays, some scientists are even afraid to define a biological woman. Have we gone from science to cult? What about communist-style hate-speech laws for “misgendering” someone?

 

Does censorship encourage or stifle reasonable discourse? Does censorship encourage or stifle free thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle critical thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom of speech? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom?
