We're going to believe a lot of false things if people are not allowed to disagree without losing fear of losing their job. Not everything that we believe is right. That's why you need freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of inquiry. Otherwise we are going to be locked into mistakes. And we're in danger of that if we have a regime where if you disagree with the majority, you get punished. But it's perfectly legitimate not to hire a flat earth geologist,. especially if the only thing that he has going for him is a scripture or totally bogus arguments like that.
