      No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we’re all forced to listen to it and participate.

      The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

        Once upon a time, scientific consensus classified homosexuality as a mental disorder.

        This is why psychology is a soft science and not worthy of the authority afforded to hard sciences.
