Glenn Loury of Brown University defines a far too common path that leads to self-censorship. Courageous citizenship asks you to bring your perspective with dignity and intent. “If the probability of persuading one’s audience is low, and if the reputational penalty for being misread is high, then…effective conformity becomes the preferred strategy. “The argument is no longer about law, it’s about who the speaker is. The rational response for many scholars is therefore silence, extreme hedging or withdrawal into purely technical language that avoids the central moral question altogether.” https://lnkd.in/e9vHjB8x Thank you for the share, David Eisner!
