So last night I had probably one of the strangest dreams that I have had in a long time. Sadly I don’t remember the contents but I do know that I had a visceral nightmare (you know, my heart was pounding when I woke up) about “free speech.” Ok, I know that sounds preposterous but I had an honest to god nightmare about some aspect of free speech. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am reading critical theories of liberalism such as Marcuse (Repressive Tolerance), Fish (There is No Such Thing as Free Speech) and Brown (States of Injury) as I deal with the question of free software and freedom. But a nightmare about it??
Clearly I need some distance from my school work or some of the old malaria medicine, Lariam, that I took years ago is leehing out of my system wacking out my already wacked dreams.
