What Hacker News says
- * On Liberty - John Stuart Mills
* 6 Meditations - Rene Descartes
I find it strange when people recommend censorship and somehow equate that to advancing democratic norms. Most recently I saw such perverted absurdities here on HN when Israelis users were justifying the expulsion of unfriendly news media. I cannot help but go back to Mills.
- Rene Descartes proposed this question in his "Meditations" essay (the one where we get "cogito ergo sum" from).
