william.maggos<p>The <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/MarketplaceOfIdeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarketplaceOfIdeas</span></a> does exist. Maybe we need a better term but cultures generally improve cause the best ideas get spread and the worse ones get forgotten. That was word of mouth and now how ideas can spread on decentralized networks without ads or algos, when people aren't silenced or harassed. The people deciding together. <a href="https://liberal.city/tags/DemocracyOfReach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyOfReach</span></a> </p><p>The problem is using the term to cover for efforts to do the opposite.

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/brandeis-louis/12073/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Louis Brandeis</b></a></p><blockquote>Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty. To courageous, self-reliant men, with confidence in the power of free and fearless reasoning applied through the processes of popular government, no danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present, unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is opportunity for full discussion. If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.</blockquote><p><b>Louis Brandeis</b> (1856-1941) American lawyer, activist, Supreme Court Justice (1916-39)<br><i>Whitney v California</i>, 274 US 357, 377 (1927) (concurring)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/brandeis-louis/12073/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/brandeis-louis/12073…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=scotus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scotus</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>change</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=debate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debate</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=discussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>discussion</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=founders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>founders</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedomofspeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedomofspeech</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=liberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>liberty</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=marketplaceofideas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marketplaceofideas</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=order" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>order</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=speech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>speech</span></a></p>

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://glitch.social/@Gotterdammerung" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Gotterdammerung</span></a></span> I realise you're defending it, but thought you might find interesting that the "marketplace of ideas" trope has a chequered history. I'd found a piece years back by Jill Gordon, "John Stuart Mill and 'The Marketplace of Ideas'" which strongly corresponded to (and extended) my own thinking:</p><p><a href="https://www.pdcnet.org/soctheorpract/content/soctheorpract_1997_0023_0002_0235_0250" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pdcnet.org/soctheorpract/conte</span><span class="invisible">nt/soctheorpract_1997_0023_0002_0235_0250</span></a></p><p>More recently, David Runciman (podcast, sorry, and no transcript of which I'm aware) did a really good 'splainer in his "History of Bad Ideas" series on the Marketplace of Ideas as well:</p><p><a href="https://www.ppfideas.com/episodes/the-history-of-bad-ideas%3A-the-marketplace-of-ideas" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ppfideas.com/episodes/the-hist</span><span class="invisible">ory-of-bad-ideas%3A-the-marketplace-of-ideas</span></a></p><p>(Others may find that more useful than you will.)</p><p>If you'd like I can re-listen and synopsise the podcast for you.</p><p>Upshot though is that <em>good ideas don't tend to emerge in a free-for-all marketplace</em>. Laboratories, seminars, and non-motivated (dialectical, rather than sophistical / rhetorical) exchange. My argument is that "marketplace of ideas" was more about selling markets (many early advocates were also free-market advocates) than the metaphor vis-a-vis ideas themselves.</p><p>(If you go through especially Oliver Wendell Holmes's characterisation in Schenck v. US, one of the strong influences on him was Francis Wrigley Hirst, former editor of <em>The Economist</em>, itself created <em>to promote free speech ideas</em> as is made clear in its prospectus: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180825113414/https://www.economist.com/unknown/1843/08/05/prospectus" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2018082511</span><span class="invisible">3414/https://www.economist.com/unknown/1843/08/05/prospectus</span></a>.

This was such a fresh difference from main stream expensive media. A little over 10 years ago, the <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>algorithm</span></a> made the marketplace of ideas specifically targeted at what it thinks you want. This caused fascism to suddenly get a massive outsized advantage beyond how it would have ever spread organically in a non-targeted marketplace of ideas. Its still a marketplace, its just the ads are now hyper targeted in hope you will click and buy the idea based on what it thinks you want to hear. Its so much worse that it was before the internet, and like before only the nerds are on the pre-algorithm internet <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> and <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> . We went sadly everyone else is basically on trash TV cable and think the marketplace of ideas is fair and balanced and the best ideas will actually win, when they never ever see "ads" for anything they disagree with already.
