Because you can't have a good faith dialogue if you're not curious about the other side of that dialogue.

And if someone is spreading falsehoods, all that needs is contact with the truth in order for that to be exposed as a falsehood. But instead, what's been happening is we've been canceling people. We've been shunning people. We've been removing people from the public town square. But it's not like those people go away.

So I'll give you an example of this. Recently, there was this incident with Kanye and he went on a racist rant on X. Did you see this?

Yeah. So he went on this racist rant about Jewish people and, you know, just insane stuff he was saying. And a lot of people just dismissed it as the ravings of a mentally ill man. And there's something to that. I mean, it was completely unhinged. That said, he's been saying a lot of this stuff now pretty consistently for about a decade.

And the fact that he's getting louder is actually emblematic of the fact that he's not the only one who believes the things that he's saying. But before, what we did is we tried to just silence him. He got banned off of social media. He lost a bunch of contracts. People just tried to remove him from existence. That didn't work.

So the way that you deal with bad ideas like the ones that he's been spreading is you need to actually talk to him in public, in full view of everyone, and show everyone how ludicrous the ideas are. Because otherwise... Other people who actually might agree with him in the background don't have their ideas exposed to tension and healthy pressure.
