EP18: Is Free Speech Actually Bad? (On Brian Leiter’s Case Against Free Speech)

Academic Edgelords

On this episode, we dive deep into Brian Leiter’s “The Case Against Free Speech.” Leiter questions the sanctity of free speech, suggesting that not all speech deserves equal protection if it causes societal harm.

Is it really a blanket right, or are we just covering up society’s harms? Tune in as we tear into the freedoms you thought you had and discuss whether Leiter’s ideas are a blueprint for a just society or just an excuse to gag annoying blowhards. See this Vox article for more

Production Note: Victor’s mic broke right before recording, so his audio sounds worse than usual.
