Wonderfully relevant as we face a repressive cancel culture seeking to suppress and mute any facts or interpretations inconsistent with Critical Theory and Social Justice Theory. You can no longer blurt out truths artfully or inartfully. Now you have to slip them into a conversation by stages and without being noticed. Truth is too toxic for those in sheltered bubbles; they must be exposed in a carefully measured mithridatic process.
In this crisis I must hold my tongue, or I must speak with freedom. Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever: But, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an economy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure that he may speak it the longer.
