I got so tired of debunking the same 10 arguments against free speech over and over… I finally said, “Fine. Nadine and I will just put the answers in one place.” That place is called The War on Words. It’s out TODAY.
"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" = "You can just do things"
In The War On Words (out today!) Nadine Strossen & I break down today’s speech controversies—and explain how to stand up for expression without apology.
Very cool that @glukianoff got to collaborate on this with, among other folks, Terrence Sejnowski. His book 'The Deep Learning Revolution' is a great one-stop shop on the subject. (See next post for link.)
“Words are violence.” “Free speech is right-wing.” “Hate speech isn’t free speech.” Tired of hearing the same anti-free speech arguments again and again? FIRE's @glukianoff and Nadine Strossen were, too. So, they wrote a book debunking them. Now you can get a copy today!

In 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser called on the Redskins to change their name if they wanted to relocate to DC. Yesterday, President Trump threatened to block the team's new DC stadium if they didn't rebrand back to the Redskins. Different jerseys, same playbook. Both fouls.
The first time I’ve ever been designated as “featured” - means I didn’t do much but worth mentioning - I’ll take it because it’s a worthy project!
What does neuroscience have to do with free speech? Turns out, a lot! Enroll in the new (free!) @coursera MOOC from Dr. Barbara Oakley @sejnowski Cristina Koppel & me (feat. @ishapiro) to find out.
