Most people are too scared to say no because they don't want to be disliked or they want to avoid conflict. But what people don't realize is that saying no actually increases respect from others. A person with strong boundaries is a strong person able to work effectively.

Also, the underlying issue is momentous. What will reduce war, crime, racism, disease, poverty? The Speech Police claim infallible knowledge of the Correct Answers, so dissent is thoughtcrime The rest of us want to hear & evaluate hypotheses, including unfamiliar ones.
Attackers of the free speech letter signed by Rowling, Chomsky et al miss the point: It’s not about us. It’s about the writers, scientists, & artists who are told ”NIce career you go there. Would be a real shame if something happened to it.” washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
