objeXtives

Free expression is not just an end in itself, but is the foundation of a free society.

​​At FreeX we study that. ...and express it to the world.

free

Freedom goes far beyond government restrictions. How can we move toward a society that encourages free speech?

Picture

expression

Key to freedom of speech is emotional expression, not speech per se. How can we augment free speech in this light?

Picture

group

Free expression is the workhorse for freedom more generally by virtue of how it acts within our social groups.

ills


censorship

Much of today's censorship emanates from private companies (big tech) and threats of cancellation from peers. What pressures drive these threats to free expression, and how can they be quelled?

mass delusions

The madness of crowds underlies the greatest failures of civilization: revolutions, dictatorships, totalitarianism, genocides, and the rich varieties of democide.​ How can we best immunize ourselves against hysterias and their consequences?

false narratives

People believe what they do on the basis of the narrative that emerges from their social network. This is the best way for societies to converge toward truth, but the networks can and do sometimes produce false narratives, and they can be practically impossible to roll back.

losing ground

​Founded by Tim Barber and Mark Changizi, FreeX was motivated by the events that have transpired since March of 2020 wherein the perceived threats of a pandemic led to the greatest suspension of civil rights and economic devastation the world has seen in a generation.

Threats to free expression from emergent societal forces are not new. What's new is that, with the world now so tightly connected, mass hysterias can instantly spread across the entire globe.

This makes understanding and appreciation of the mechanisms underlying these events more important than ever, and ultimately central to our survival.
