Healthy Speech

Free speech is good for you:

Psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael has appeared on Fox News and PragerU and is a best-selling author, and she maintains that free speech is good for all of us. She writes at Greater Good Magazine that “we may even benefit from talking with members of the communities where we live and work…even if (sometimes especially if) their viewpoints differ from our own. While free speech can feel like a burden, it also carries benefits.” Carmichael maintains that free speech is essential in the process of learning and growing as individuals. Exposing ourselves to other ideas can help us change our minds on issues or solidify our convictions. She also points out that the freedom to say “stupid things” can help us learn by experience. “Without free speech, we are less likely to examine our thoughts and get feedback on them, which actually leaves us more vulnerable to harboring inaccurate or distorted views,” she writes.
