If you stop speaking freely you will very rapidly cease to think freely

@3:06 "If you stop speaking freely you will very rapidly cease to think freely. For that which can not be expressed, as George Orwell warned a very long time ago, that which cannot be expressed cannot be thought."

@4:45 "Here I stand, in a place, in a university, in a world where actually I do have to be careful what I say. And here is your safe space. It is a space where people become increasingly nervous about saying what they really think.. and that is a form of censorship."

So true. I have recently watched the "Hidden Secrets Of Women In North Korea Exposed" on Youtube. I learned that in NK many people have been encouraged to defect by Hollywood films we take for granted. North Korean defector Yeonmi Park claims that it was the movie Titanic that first gave her the idea to leave. While it just inspired us westerners to stay away from boats, Yeonmi claims it was the first time she saw someone lose their life for love for someone besides her dearest leader. She began to dream of a world where people had enough food to eat, and were free to pursue love, liberty and happiness.

After her defection the first time someone asked her what her favorite color was, she immediately replied "red", because that's the color of the North Korean regime. But then she realized that she had never been able to think of anything other than the regime. She had no idea what she thought about anything, not even something as simple as what color she thinks looks best.

Nowadays I consider myself a free speech absolutist. The globalist elite are corrupt fools who cannot be trusted. They would take us back into the dark ages if the masses wouldn't be able to stop them. They want to censor us but we cannot allow this to happen.
