Freedom of Speech Is Not Just Another Value Jordan B Peterson

I don’t believe that freedom of speech is just another value.

I think that is preposterous.

I think that if you claim that then you know nothing about western civilization and history.

Freedom of speech is not just another principle, it is the mechanism by which we keep our psyches and our societies organized and we have to be unbelievably careful about infringing upon that because we are infringing upon the process by which we keep chaos and order balanced and if chaos and order go out of balance then all hell breaks loose and the situation is not good.
