The best defense of freedom of speech isn’t that people are rational seekers of truth such that the marketplace of ideas will bankrupt bad ideas but rather that people are often biased and self-serving and so they can’t be trusted to regulate the speech of others

The best part of road cycling is when the guy gets a new bike and his handler gives him a push-start. He probably knows how to get started on his own! But still, nice that there's someone around to help.
