Or do you not trust in your own mind?

If there's one thing I absolutely do not trust, it is my own mind. In terms of self-deception, minds in general are more adept at this than any algorithm Google or Facebook could come up with combined, by at LEAST a factor of 100. Anyone who does not understand how absolutely devious the mind is (which is the vast majority of the population) are going to be deceived.

Perhaps then what your real instinct is is perhaps a contempt of other peoples right to listen and other peoples ability to make THEIR minds up.

I don't have contempt for anyone, but we now have a large swath of people who don't understand how the Internet works and are apt to believe any bullshit that gets posted in their echo chambers. I'm not necessarily saying censorship is the solution, but if you've got any better ideas, I'd love to hear it. I mean, how the fuck do you teach people anything, when they're arrogant enough to assume they already know everything?
