The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

NOTE

Balancing Freedom and Safety in Public Discourse

The speaker highlighted the ideological nature of the debate on freedom of speech by sharing an experience on a British program. They expressed their belief in allowing the president to speak publicly, which was met with disapproval. The opposition's immediate endorsement for having the safest internet displayed a shift towards prioritizing safety over freedom. The speaker emphasized the importance of accepting some harm as a consequence of freedom, stating that until this perspective is adopted, the conversation cannot advance. They critiqued the current narrative that overly emphasizes safety, warning that it leads to increased tyranny. The speaker identified a failure in their UK context to uphold the value of balancing freedom and safety in public discourse.
