Cool. Great. Who would you suggest to be the arbiter of who does or does not get to "have a seat at the table of public discourse"? Is it by committee? What degree of knowledge should be necessary?

wow. You took this way to literally. I dont think people should not be allowed to talk. I just think they shouldnt be listened to. And thats a decision each individual can make. But when they make it, I hate when someone says "you should listen to what this person has to say". No, I really shouldnt. It has nothing to do with the content of their opinion. It has to do with the authority or credentials or research with which theyve formed it


For example, when discussing the theory of evolution, we hear from scientist, and then from religious laypeople that say its wrong. Thats fine. Im not saying they cant have their opinions. Im saying, that because they arent scientist who study the subject their opinion doesnt have to be respected. Also, they arent really opinions. Being wrong about something cant just be protected by being called opinion.
