Not sure what the construction of a statue has to do with free speech. #5 and #7 are a problem because one says you should base your beliefs around what we know now scientifically, and the other says the rules are designed to promote thought. How do you think people like Einstein came up with their idea's? By using the known methods that weren't working, or going beyond them? |
What a weird interpretation of free speech and the idea that ones beliefs should conform to our best understand of the world.
I guess I'll just say:
1. free speech includes actions
2. I don't think that conforming your beliefs to scientific understanding means all science stagnates. People like Einstein worked within the scientific method to help better our understanding of the world. He did not just believe something despite all the evidence against it, which is what #5 is trying to address.
