Censorship is an indelible part of human relations. You can never truly speak your mind, partly because the other person cant have it, but fundamentally because you cant either.

"You can never truly speak your mind"

And that is a problem. Our communication depends on being able to articulate ourselves. Quality of our thoughts depend on the language. The quality of our discourse suffers, because our thoughts are being trained to offer 'safe' language.

If you do not see it as a problem, we have a problem.

This is a fact of being human, and you will never “fix” it.

I disagree. And I disagree for one reason only. Never is an awful long time to state anything with any kind of certainty.

You will never fix it the same way you will never make a diamond out of ruby. It's constitutive of being human.
