danger...danger?

Question

whats more dangerous? Telling other people your most dangerous idea, or the idea that ideas can be dangerous?

Answer 1

It's far more dangerous to think ideas can be dangerous since that leads to censorship, stagnation, and ignorance.
Remember, we were ritual sacrificers, flat earthers, and carefree smokers before a few "dangerous" ideas were explored.
Telling others my most dangerous idea is only dangerous if there is no democracy, morality, or law enforcement to protect the innocent from its implementation; of course, these measures can fail, but the risks of censorship outweigh the benefits.

Answer 2

All ideas can be dangerous. What saves us is most ideas are never put into action.

I haven't had my most dangerous idea yet. I'm only 52. Or maybe 53. Anyway, I have time to come up with a more dangerous one than I've had before. Since I'm a science fiction writer, nothing is off limits.

Answer 3

Logically speaking, so long as your mind is working, there will never be a most dangerous idea. Therefore, since we are working with infinity, that first case can be omitted.

Are ideas dangerous? Yes. Hitler had a very dangerous idea that ended up killing 600 million people.

Answer 4

No question that ideas can be dangerous. Making a dangerous idea public can get it adopted by other people.
Ideologies and religions have proven that.

chris w-I find your answer to be lame,and obviously Alani hit the 0 twice by mistake.

Answer 5

Neither. They are both pretty lame.

Alani- Hitler didn't kill 600 million people. 60 million is more accurate (if you count the total death toll of WW2)
