I've half-written a substack on why it's stupid to censor and mock flat-earthers. The only way to come to the truth of a situation is allow people to freely discuss ideas and hear why they may be wrong, and allow people to perform experiments and have people check the data. This works out for the best for all of society. The main reason to censor someone is if you think they'd convince people something you don't want them to believe. The only reasons to censor someone is because you don't think you have the most convincing argument and/or fear people are inconvincible through logical arguments.

Hear hear! 🎯💯
Thank you Theo!! I had missed this, and am so glad you elevated it. I was caught in that self-censorship trap for years. Still breaking free...
