This blog post will be short as I want to share with you an interesting video that I have found a few days ago... It isn't that new (I mean the speech), but the video was newly created and I saw it for the first time... As YouTube tends to bury these kinds of videos, I suppose that many of you didn't see it...
It is a speech by Rowan Atkinson (whom many of you know as an actor who "invented" Mr.Bean) about the free speech that he took in 2012 as a part of the campaign called “Reform Section 5”. He did this speech in Parliament and according to Reformsection5 website post, it went viral back in the day... Ironically, if you check the link you will find a post where all links to YT videos are unavailable... Strange?
You can check the video above that was released just a few days ago that I have found in my "feed", listened and bookmarked to share with you guys... To my surprise, when I checked the video today part of it was without the sound (you will notice around the 3rd minute)... Maybe it's kind of a protection of "property rights", or just another "coincidence"...
Another irony regarding that is that Mr. Atkinson is talking about the right to "insult others", about the freedom of speech, spreading the message freely, and then, another video is "silenced"...
Anyways, I have found another video where the sound works, so you can check it out (that is probably the "original")...
This topic was interesting for me as I had some personal experiences regarding it... I have a problem that many times I say what I think in-loud, and the message isn't always pleasant... There are some issues out there and I feel the necessity to point them out, and try to fix them as soon as possible... Unfortunately, I found that a lot of people are keener to listen to "sweet lies" than to hear the truth about certain things... Ignoring some problem will not make that problem gone, but addressing it, and working on it, could solve the issue...
I suppose that the legendary phrase by Jack Nicholson from the movie A Few Good Men is a very often repeated phrase these days...

...but someone has to point out that the King is naked... That's why platforms such as HIVE are crucial... We have to have a place where we can share the truth... This is our Zion... Our last post...
What do you think about Mr. Atkinson's speech? Are we becoming too "soft"? Is that stopping us from progressing and growing?
Thank you for your valuable time,
