This is so important.
Academia is a unique place where people should have freedom to think deeply about any subject and articulate differing views and challenge each other and the rest of us to move our mental models and how we interpret the world and leverage it forward.
If I remember rightly, because it was set up before Parliament Cambridge and am sure Oxford too is also subject to different legal “parameters”, “jurisdictions” and “powers of enforcement” within its own grounds”. Am not quite sure how this translates to the digital world in which all of us now spend so much of our lives and conversation.
Sometimes it takes a few generations to fully appreciate these seminal moments and acts.
Freedom of thought, to test, probe, investigate, challenge, reinvent, imagine, create from which so much progress comes - ultimately embodied in freedom of speech.
This is much deeper and more significant than it seems at first blush we need a space in society that transcends temporal expectations and norms. And it is so important that it does so and can continue to do so.

We’ve launched a major new Cambridge University initiative on free speech and academic freedom. The vice-chancellor Debbie Prentice is creating a series of dialogues which will examine some of the knottiest issues of the day - bringing together people with widely differing views, and recognising that some opinions may be uncomfortable. But we’re equally hoping that we can learn to disagree courteously, and find common ground where it exists.
The photo is from the first event, held at Selwyn on November 8th.
I subscribe line by line the first paragraph of the Daniel post. And let me add that companies should be also a place where ideas should flourish to improve performance and prosperity for the shareholders as academia does for their students
