"重大な怪我への恐怖だけでは、言論と集会の自由を抑圧する正当な理由にはなりません。人々は魔女を恐れて女性を焼きました。言論の機能は、非合理的な恐怖から人々を解放することです。"
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
Being scared of getting hurt is not a good enough reason to stop people from speaking or gathering. In the past, people were scared of witches and hurt innocent women because of it. Talking and sharing ideas helps people stop being scared of things that don't make sense.
