And that’s free discussion. It’s the social equivalent of the free economic zones of globalized capitalism (e.g., Shenzhen in China, Mexican maquiladoras), where relaxing the regulations on those with power means intensifying the control of those without. The free market of ideas serves those exceptional few with the most intellectual and social capital—and there’s nothing natural, biochemical or genetic about this—only by subjecting everyone else to even higher levels of social control and intellectual scrutiny, all the while asserting these same people’s liberty and equal right to speak. Anomaly’s free discussion is founded on the intellectual bondage of those of us who are, as it were, non-anomalous. thanks, Andy Chu
