Two thoughts from Greg Lukianoff
Two thoughts from Greg Lukianoff:
“Being offended is an emotional state, not a substantive argument; we cannot afford to give it the power to stifle debate.”
“The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right.”
First I hear that second one, I like it -- had to think about it for a moment, but it's deep!
that "spirit of liberty" thought is powerful!
i'm reminded of this beautiful robert hass quote:
"Repetition makes us feel secure and variation makes us feel free."
