Jerry Coyne, who believes that there is no such thing as free will is worried about the erosion of free speech. I tried pointing out the contradiction inherent in his position a few months ago and was banned from his blog for my efforts. I haven't stopped laughing about the irony of it all ever since.
I'm actually sort of impressed that he takes the time to sift through his thousands of comments and ban people. I can't even begin Coyne's comment threads without my eyes glazing over.
ReplyDeleteBut does Coyne freely choose to sift through them all, or is he compelled to do it?
ReplyDeleteOh, that is truly ironic. Denied freedom of speech for suggesting that Coyne's defence of freedom of speech is inconsistent with his denial that freedom of speech is a coherent concept...
ReplyDeleteDon't these guys just deserve to be ignored as prattling parrots?
Maybe, but once in a while Coyne says something that I agree with.
