Scientific progress relies on unrelenting criticism of the status quo.

But there are institutions that have an interest in suppressing dissent, and which can make plausible arguments that dissenting theories inflict harm.

Sure, I guess, on the suppressing misinformation is easy part (is anyone really arguing otherwise?). But is there any reasonable argument to suggest that removing or greatly limiting moderation will be effective in suppressing misinformation? That seems to be what Musk is suggesting. Public square nonsense, as if the public square doesn't have rules and moderation.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
