Philosophy

An unregulated market of ideas disproportionately benefits a select few. In this way it supports social hierarchy and prevents those at the bottom from changing their circumstances.

The idea falsely assumes that making emotional arguments is enough to change people's minds on an issue. This is simply incorrect.

If it worked, society would not repeat its mistakes. That alone is proof that the idea has no legs to stand on.

No environment exists free from bias. Therefore the very assumption it is based upon is flawed.

Online bias is sabotaging the free exchange of ideas. There is no such thing as impartiality on the internet.

The marketplace of ideas has been used in countless legal cases to defend free speech. The marketplace of ideas has impacted the rules by which we live.
