“History has taught us that those who acquire power corruptly, often don't want their power subverted by dissenting truth-tellers. Censorship is often the harbinger of truth. In the allegorical story of Genesis, Adam and Eve are prohibited from eating of the Tree of Knowledge.

If one wants to know the truth, one must discern which prohibitions ought to be violated so that the truth can be revealed.”
