In today's episode, the topic is freedom and censorship.

Well, here we are. Elon Musk has bought Twitter and fired nearly everyone. He has reinstated Jordan Peterson and James O'Keefe of project Veritas (that's Project Truth for those who don't know Latin). He’s even reinstated Donald Trump, although as far as I know he hasn't gone back yet.

So, we're in a different world than we were a year ago. New social media platforms are popping up and the conversation and the conflict is strong and steady on all of them.

The conflict of ideas is not just among ordinary people. Ideological battles are raging within the Democrat Party, within the Republican Party. between factions in each of those parties, between populists and the elite who feel that experts should and could run the world better than We the People.

That we are in an ideological civil war is pretty obvious. But we've been here before. I don't know if that's a comfort or if it’ll increase the fear level.

We were here before and we fought a civil war over our differing ideas about humanity and about reality. This brings us to this episode.

The important questions: Is censorship acceptable? Is it acceptable in peacetime? Is it acceptable in Wartime? And does any of this hold true for a civil information and ideological war?...
