Jordan Peterson's razor-sharp warning on compelled speech: “Free speech is the core mechanism for society to define problems, generate solutions, and build consensus. Forcing bad tools interferes with thinking and communicating at the heart of civilization.” In this intense 1:33 clip from the 2016 pronoun debate, he argues that government-mandated language (like required pronouns) crosses a dangerous line — it's not just restriction, it's interference with the very process of thought and societal problem-solving. He calls it a fundamental mistake that strikes at the core of free societies. Still one of the clearest, most principled stands on why free speech must remain absolute. Do you see compelled language as a small courtesy or a serious threat to open thought?
