I place a lot of value on viewpoint diversity (the real one) and on free speech (the real one). It sucks how both concepts have been hijacked to mean “everyone is under a moral obligation to elevate and disseminate discredited claims if today’s political right is into them.”

I don’t think a good definition of “viewpoint diversity” is “you must lower your standards specifically for anti-science, anti-truth, bigots, and fascists — a healthy intellectual community needs those voices and they can’t clear the bar otherwise.”
