“The notion that I have the freedom to swing my fist up to the point it hits your nose is a reasonable one. But the idea that I can say something up to the point it offends you is not. Thus when it comes to harm, I support limiting freedom when it causes significant physical (including economic) harm, but not when restricting liberty to prevent merely psychological harm. The latter is simply too subject to motivated reasoning and self-deception to justify limits on free expression. Indeed, woke cultural socialism engages in what I term, appropriating critical theory’s own lexicon, ‘the social construction of harm.'” (09/04/24)
