When it's not as clear as your argument.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

I see.

Could I ask you a question on this specifically?

Camp Gagnon

So I've heard a criticism of like centrism generally is that it offers equal weight to two ideas when one of them deserves little weight.

Camp Gagnon

I see.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Okay.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Maybe, I think that makes sense.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

I'm curious, like, what would be the line for this?

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

So, like, September of the 11th, right?

Camp Gagnon

There's, in my opinion, as an American, this was a terrorist attack taken course by, you know, Al-Qaeda radicals.

Camp Gagnon

Yeah, I can see that from like a theological or almost, you know, sort of a hypothetical kind of framework.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Yeah, I mean, I've always sort of taken the perspective that, I think it was Aquinas that said that the truth fears no interrogation.

That, you know, if, like, whatever the truth is can be sort of, you know, scrutinized and attacked, but because it is the truth sort of in a capital T sense, if there is such a thing, that it will sort of withstand these attacks.
