Kindle Notes & Highlights
The idea that ‘freedom of speech’ somehow equates with a freedom to spout undiluted, often inflammatory nonsense without being contradicted or called out is currently more popular on both sides of the Atlantic than at any other point in living memory.
it is refreshing, in an age of increasingly reductionist and binary debate, to recognise the importance of sometimes saying the three most undervalued words in the English language: I don’t know.
When the liars have the loudest voices, the tellers of truth need to find new ways to be heard.
We need a complete reversal of the idea that every argument has two equal sides, that every question is debatable and that every story needs to be ‘balanced’.
