What is freedom of speech? It is an instrument of creation! Why? Without freedom of speech, no problem can be solved! Why? Before a problem can be solved it must be described adequately, quite freely, without any censorship. And problems can be of unpleasant content and **** must be called **** in order to properly organize its cleaning! This applies to any social phenomenon.
About science it is necessary to say something special! The entire development of science for thousands of years has been built on doubt, allowing the transition to the next level of scientific development, when high theory passed the applied. Without freedom of thought and speech, such development in science would be impossible. An example is non-Euclidean geometry. Doubt in the axiom of parallel lines of Euclid led to the emergence of non-Euclidean geometry, which became, in fact, applied at the beginning of the 20th century.
In the social aspect censorship entails catastrophic consequences already for the average man. Silencing, ideologizing and deliberately distorting the formulation of problems affects the life of the average man.
