At least the web most people use

2020-10-19 17:31:51 UTC  

porn became the primary function of the internet and it wasnt even close basically immediately after the internet was set up

@Drift it is because if everyone has true free speech (yes there will be trash out there) but the truth is unlocked and floats to the surface

They've been getting called to the carpet recently, but honestly it was like grandpa with the techsaviness who barely can dial a phone do many of the questioning thus far

2020-10-19 17:32:19 UTC  

Yeh

2020-10-19 17:32:36 UTC  

true freedom is the freedom to do what is right and to speak what is true

2020-10-19 17:32:53 UTC  

which takes hard work

2020-10-19 17:33:04 UTC  

True freedom of speech would mean me literally saying **anything imaginable.**

2020-10-19 17:33:07 UTC  

no

2020-10-19 17:33:09 UTC  

false

2020-10-19 17:33:12 UTC  

Ah

2020-10-19 17:33:17 UTC  

Let me elaborate

2020-10-19 17:33:20 UTC  

Ok.

2020-10-19 17:33:27 UTC  

If I walk up to a piano

2020-10-19 17:33:38 UTC  

I have the freedom to presumably whatever I want with it

2020-10-19 17:33:41 UTC  

hit random keys

2020-10-19 17:33:48 UTC  

hit the piano with a hammer

2020-10-19 17:33:59 UTC  

but if i spend years training and practicing the piano

2020-10-19 17:34:04 UTC  

when I walk up to the piano

2020-10-19 17:34:09 UTC  

I have a greater freedom

2020-10-19 17:34:19 UTC  

a freedom to make music

2020-10-19 17:34:28 UTC  

to do good things with the piano

2020-10-19 17:34:30 UTC  

It makes sense, actually.

2020-10-19 17:34:40 UTC  

So true freedom actually takes hard work

2020-10-19 17:35:07 UTC  

the distinction scholars make is the difference between freedom for indifference vs freedom of excellence

2020-10-19 17:35:12 UTC  

Maybe I still have a bit of that leftist propaganda deeply engrained in my brain.

2020-10-19 17:35:17 UTC  

liberalism yea

2020-10-19 17:35:32 UTC  

its amazing how the republican party just supports dem values from 20 years ago

2020-10-19 17:35:40 UTC  

here is something interesting https://www.pdfdrive.com/andrew-hitchcock-the-synagogue-of-satan-e25057011.html chronological doings of the big banks through history

He doesn't have the freedom to damage or harm the piano through abuse, libel and such are illegal

2020-10-19 17:36:18 UTC  

Ahhhhhhhh!!! So the freedom to excel in any domain is actual freedom, while the freedom to yell on the street is not, because I'd be infringing other people's freedom of peace.

2020-10-19 17:36:32 UTC  

not exactly

Yell in the street would be more of hitting random keys

2020-10-19 17:36:55 UTC  

its just "freedom" to do "anything" isnt really freedom

2020-10-19 17:37:05 UTC  

and liberty exists that we may choose the good and the true

2020-10-19 17:37:07 UTC  

Yeah, you're right.

2020-10-19 17:37:26 UTC

people who "freely" choose to binge watch netflix or feed their porn addiction are just slaves to their own passions and desires
