A quotation from Abraham Fortas
Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.
Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]More about this quote: wist.info/fortas-abe/13226/

Something has shifted in the way we speak to one another
There was a time (not even that long ago) when #disagreement was considered healthy
Friends could argue #politics over dinner, colleagues #debate #ideas in meetings, families could hold entirely #opposing views & still sit together on Sunday afternoon
Somewhere along the way, that ability has disappeared
Since the #pandemic, something fundamental shifted in the way we speak to one another

Challenging Common Myths in Business and Economics
March 26, 2026 Do you sometimes hear a statement that seems false to you? You think that this cannot be right. Sometimes such statements could be exaggerations; it is the way some people talk.
