Just what I hope is an interesting conversation about rights.
Consider your perfect version of the right of free speech. If it was conclusively demonstrated to you in was a net negative, would you change it?
To me, the whole point of rights is they make things worse. And if the only rights you support make things better than you don't actually support rights. When people say, "defend right to say it" I think they only mean because the right is still a net benefit under those circumstances. But what if it isn't a benefit?
