On a smartphone the human eye arguably cannot see much more than this.

#4 - Free Speech: The Greatest Freedom?

In this episode of The Future of Thought we discuss the primacy of free speech. Note(s) from the podcasters *Caelan does not believe sexuality is only a choice but rather it sounded as such due to mixing “sexuality” with gender expression (discounting gender dysphoria) early in the podcast; He simply views it as an expression of one’s self that is deserving of scrutiny. The audio is slightly different than usual due to our remote recording during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Discord notifications are audible throughout the episode; this should be fixed for the next episode.
