Why another book on free speech? And what’s with the cartoons? I’ve been asked these questions many times in the weeks since the publication of my new book, Free Speech and Why You Should Give a Damn. And the best way to answer is with a story that appears in the book’s opening pages.

The Dunning-Krueger effect. You don't know nearly as much as you think you do. If you actually did, you'd realize that other people have a ton of smart things to say that you'd never think of. Even janitors and nurses.

But shine on, galaxy brain. You tell off those morons and make yourself feel better about your low station in life.

You misspelled "Kruger".

I didn't say anything about myself so the Dunning-Kruger effect has no bearing on what I wrote.

Historically other people did have a ton of smart things to say, which is why I love history and read a lot of old books. Unfortunately this is not the case for modern people. As I have repeatedly pointed out, without rebuttal, modern people are depraved moronic scum. Hopefully natural selection will reassert itself and this will be corrected in the future.
