The government protects free speech in all its forms, including the horrible vile that comes out of Trump. Why can't us informed citizens respect other people's point of view and defeat it with facts, reasoning and logic. When we shut off members of a society because we disagree with them, we are pushing them to the extreme, leaving them isolated and creating more horrible monsters. A democratic and free society must tolerate all opinions to actually be free and not be run by a certain group that prohibits certain types of speech.

I am strongly in favor of free speech. Peter should be scrutinized and debated, not fired. Sam Altman does not deserve any nonsense because of this.

For the "not feeling intelligent", I've had that happen to me, but this book called, Mindset the New Psychology of Success, really helped me because it teaches you that hard work, dedication and willingness to learn are what made you smart, not that you were born naturally smart.
