Denmark's Qur'an burning problem cannot be solved with a blasphemy law. This law proposed today will not address the root causes of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and white nationalism.

There's no need of an #AI for a cerebral implant to step over your rights.
Every click you do with a mouse, while monitored by #GAFA, is a breach over your #FreedomOfThought
The #UN wake up call to regulate this is so late, if not complicit.

Books are a manifestation of authors' thoughts. As you read, those thoughts stimulate your thoughts.

When ChristoFascists ban books, they're banning thoughts: those of authors, and yours. Because they're scared of thoughts.

Think about THAT.

A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:

«««««
If I valued fame, I should flatter received opinions, which have gathered strength by time, and will yet wear longer than any living works to the contrary. But, for the soul of me, I cannot and will not give the lie to my own thoughts and doubts, come what may. If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and …

I worry about all the data I give out that should not be made public, it's my freedom of thought.

Apps are sensors of my thoughts, the music I listen to, my interactions, where I am, my heart rate, how far I am from my phone, how long I sleep, how "focused" I am on my work, my interests, how sick I am, my fart frequency.

When we talk about #FreedomOfExpression we don't realise how much mental privacy we have left in the hands of vultures. Uncontrolled.

#GiordanoBruno's cosmological vision certainly anticipates the modern conception of the universe. His ethical ideas remind of modern humanism, and his ideal of philosophical tolerance influenced liberal thinkers.

Bruno was burned alive by the Roman Church, at 6am on the 17th of February 1600.

A quotation from Jackson, Robert H.:

«««««
The priceless heritage of our society is the unrestricted constitutional right of each member to think as he will. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we have no claim to it. It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function o…
