“The want to be desired is a nicer way of saying you want to be someone else.”
Jack R. Ernest, Remarks On Existential Nihilism: Labelling, Narcissism and Existential Maturity

Jack R. Ernest
“Social media only makes people more afraid. It only makes them conform more. Not alone do we have friends, family and co-workers telling us how to behave; we also have people we don’t know on social media telling us how we should behave. The more your identity is known by the tribe, the more you will be duped into conforming.”
Jack R. Ernest, Remarks On Existential Nihilism: Labelling, Narcissism and Existential Maturity

“We are left facing that confusing and rare phenomenon: the well-intentioned authoritarian. When those who long for a fairer society are also calling for censorship, we find ourselves stranded on unfamiliar terrain. How are we meant to respond when the people who wish to deprive us of our rights sincerely believe that they are doing so for our own good?”
Andrew Doyle, Free Speech And Why It Matters

“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”
Andrew Doyle, Free Speech And Why It Matters

“When it comes to calls for censorship, we must always return to the same question: who are to be the censors, and how might they be expected to reach objective decisions on the basis of fundamentally subjective standards? Moreover, if speech has the power to corrupt, how can we be sure that exposure to toxic material will not corrupt the censors?”
Andrew Doyle, Free Speech And Why It Matters
