In reading the tweet to Anderson linked, I don’t see the quote. There’s “more upset than we foresaw”, there’s TED folk who “feel like their identity is being attacked “

Are these folks Genuinely Hurt? Kind of obviously, not physically hurt.

We should all absolutely question the reality of this pain caused by hearing an idea. It’s likely more a power play false claim used to gain power, and in the case of getting an asterisk on this talk, used successfully.

Free speech denies that this pain, if any, which is easily avoided by leaving or changing the channel, should interfere with publicity about the talk.
