Knowland Knows: 'If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear' (George Orwell). Use it or lose it. The statements and opinions in this video are not necessarily agreed or authorised by Eton College or its subsidiary companies. I haven't tried to be original in this talk. The references, in chronological order throughout the talk, are below.

I would recommend Steven Pinker's 'The Blank Slate' or Debra Soh's 'The End of Gender' if you're keen to learn more.
