A quotation from Henry Commager
We cannot have a society half slave and half free; nor can we have thought half slave and half free. If we create an atmosphere in which men fear to think independently, inquire fearlessly, express themselves freely, we will in the end create the kind of society in which men no longer care to think independently or to inquire fearlessly.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

@MostlyHarmless Free of Thinking isn’t the same as Free Thinking, it would seem.
It seems to be that we have the political equivalent “why do you keep punching yourself?” Going on.

Let the human Mind loose. It must be loose; it will be loose. Superstition and Despotism cannot confine it.

CLÉANTE:These are the arguments of all your kind:
Since they can’t see, they think that no one ought;
Whoever does, is tainted with free thought;
Whoever balks at pious affectation
Fails to hold piety in veneration.
Come now, for all your talk, I’m not afraid;
Heaven sees my heart, and I know what I’ve said.
[Voilà de vos pareils le discours ordinaire:
Ils veulent que chacun soit aveugle comme eux;
C’est être libertin que d’avoir de bons yeux;
Et qui n’adore pas de vaines simagrées
N’a ni respect ni foi pour les choses sacrées.
Allez, tous vos discours ne me font point de peur;
Je sais comme je parle, et le ciel voit mon cœur.]
Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967), 1.5]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/moliere/77776/

CW: #reintroduction
2022 #introduction. Some things have changed since 2018 for me. Some things haven’t. I don’t recall why I walked away from Mastodon after only five months or so, but now I’m back. #Twittermigration and all that. I am back, but with a serious case of #impostersyndrome, and I’m looking for places to fit in. I guess I am generally trying to figure things out. The big picture.
I support:
