Hey, great read as always. Your articulation of free speech as structural infrastructure for agency, distinguishing its functional role from incitement, is truly insightful. It really makes me think about how essential those error correction mecanisms are, like debugging a complex system, for any society to actually function and evolve properly.
Appreciate that — the debugging analogy captures the point precisely. Free speech is part of the error-correction machinery of society. When that machinery is impaired, failure modes don’t disappear; they just become harder to detect and harder to recover from.
