"Freedom of thought is the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship."

Most secular reading lists are just 'have you tried Hitchens?' This one actually expands the frame — 10 books that survived the DNF pile.

Finished reading. Great coverage of freethought from late 18th to early 20th century.

Interesting to see some cyclical history. Hoffman describes an antiscriptural emphasis to the Paine era & social reform emphasis in the Robert Owen era, which prefigures a similar difference in 20th/21st century freethought between skeptical debunking and social justice emphases.

Reading David C. Hoffman's American Freethought (2025) and saw the National Liberal League's 1880 presidential platform, including this plank:

"Universal education the basis of universal suffrage in this secular republic."

As true now as it was then.

A #Satanist does not tolerate authoritarian control. They stay grounded, set firm limits, & refuse to be coerced. Challenge ideas with reason where useful, but avoid pointless conflict. Protect autonomy, align with those who value freedom, & act with discipline. Strength is not submission, but clear, controlled resistance.

Thinking for yourself begins when you notice how much of what you call your views was handed to you. Family, #culture, media, and habit all leave marks. None of this is wrong, but it is often unexamined.

Most people never notice how much of their thinking is inherited.
It feels personal, but it is often repetition.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

And the freedom of the mind, my friends, has served America well. The vigor of our political life, our capacity for change, our cultural, scientific, and industrial achievements, all derive from free inquiry, from the free mind — from the imagination, resourcefulness, and daring of men who are not afraid of new ideas. Most all of us favor free enterprise for business. Let us also favor free enterprise for the mind. For, in the last analysis, we would fight to the death to protect it.

Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

#FreeSpeech
without #FreeThought
is a miserable and pathetic act.

For as you wave your arms
and kick your legs
while spewing your speech,
I see the strings
holding your hands,
feet, tongue & mind.

I see not the human,
merely a pet,
that's been trained
and neutered.

A quotation from William Drummond

He, who will not reason, is a bigot; he, who cannot, is a fool; and he, who dares not, is a slave.

William Drummond of Logie-Almond (1770-1828) Scottish classical scholar, philosopher, diplomat, politician
Academical Questions, Preface (1805)
