"If free speech comprises a total set of human activities, does artificial intelligence merely comprise a subset?" Many thanks to @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social and @futurefreespeech.org for inviting me to speak on this next Monday, Örebro University, Sweden: futurefreespeech.org/roundtable-o...

Delighted by the opportunity to return to the fantastic people at the Ethical Society of Northern Westchester in New York's autumnally picturesque Hudson River valley. Free places also available online. esnw.org/is-the-golde...

Is #FreedomOfSpeech about individual autonomy? Or is it about #Democratic participation? My piece now published in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies (available in Advance View by clicking "PDF" at academic.oup.com/ojls/advance...).

Should "X" and Instagram be treated as "private" speakers? Or do they operate more like Putin's #Russia? Delightful to have had the opportunity to talk to @volokhc.bsky.social and Jane Bambauer @hooverinstitution.bsky.social at @stanforduniversity.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgXW...

Looking forward to a public discussion on October 28 with Princeton sociologist @shamuskhan.bsky.social about my new book "Coming Clean" published by @mitpress.bsky.social. On campus at @princetonpl.bsky.social. princetonlibrary.libnet.info/event/14389483

The eerie comedy of #Trump's #America claiming to lead the world in free speech. Delighted to have been interviewed for Le Soir. (PDF available). www.lesoir.be/702597/artic...

#Trump's attacks on #science have nothing to do attacking #Democracy, right? Wrong. My piece today in The European. the-european.eu/story-51626/...

Trumpism was supposedly based on reducing the intrusive powers of big #government, yet #Trump continues to expand his power by the day. My interview on Friday with @france24.com. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

I support the 6 September Brussels rally for a Free Iran & Maryam Rajavi’s Third option - no war, no appeasement — yes to freedom by the people & their resistance. #BrusselsFreeIranRally #NCRIAlternative #IranThirdOption

What's great about #FreeSpeech is that it's free... errm.... right? Think again. My piece published today in Merion West. www.merionwest.com/who-pays-for...

This morning I received a copy of "Theory Across Disciplines" edited by Jeffrey Di Leo. I enjoyed writing about the rebirth of Justice Theory in my chapter titled "Multidiscplinarity in Law". www.bloomsbury.com/uk/theory-ac... #JusticeTheory #Law #Multidisciplinarity

Do words like 'terrorist' and 'extremist' have any real meaning? Do they just mask outright ideological struggles? My contribution to the UK Commission for Countering #Extremism, edited by Robin Simcox published today. Thanks also to Claire Yau. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Hateful communications erode liberal-democratic values. But is it the #liberal values or the #democratic values that they attack? Delighted that my article will soon appear in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies. In the meantime it is visible on @ssrn.bsky.social . papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Humbled to read these kind words from former @barackobama.bsky.social ambassador and razor-sharp political analyst Luis Moreno about my new book with @mitpress.bsky.social.

Many universities will have to change the way they approach free speech.

Telling #universities they need #FreeSpeech means it will work... right? My article today in @theconversation.com theconversation.com/englands-new...

Copy just arrived today. Congratulations to @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social on her new book.

Very much enjoyed this interview on my book "Coming Clean" (@mitpress.bsky.social) with the brilliant Prof. F. Sciacca, published this month in Heliopolis. www.artetetra.it/heliopolis/2...

Free speech is as much a concern for the #left as it is for the #right. Enjoyed this conversation with Wall Street Journal @wsj.com (BY: Max Colchester, Bertrand Benoit, Natasha Dangoor ) www.wsj.com/world/europe...

"[Heinze's] plea for leftist autocritique draws on important historical and contemporary examples, and is enlivened by literary references. A pleasure to read." — Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann "Coming Clean" by @ericheinze.bsky.social is out now: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204958...

@ericheinze.bsky.social It’s great to connect with you here. We’ve included your book, Coming Clean, on our website at http:://human3o.com/books.

In The Technological Society, Jacques Ellul suggests that the dominance of technique can lead to a loss of freedom and individual agency as people become more integrated into a system driven by efficiency.

The idea of an Internet of Things has morphed into the AI of Everything, & neither are a good thing as technology invades every sector of society & “technique," a comprehensive system of optimizing efficiency, increasingly dominates our lives. ia803209.us.archive.org/2/items/Jacq... #jacquesellul

It was a pleasure to chat with Waseem Akhtar of Dublin City Radio about my new book "Coming Clean". www.mixcloud.com/1032DublinCi...

A preliminary assessment concluded that the U.S. strikes only set Iran’s nuclear program back by a few months. The JCPOA, on the other hand, promised to put Iran’s program in a well-watched cage for at least a decade.

Just a silly statue? Countless lives around the world are being destroyed and damaged every day through a #Kremlin politics that have long been in revival. Hats off to Jeremy Hicks writing in @uk.theconversation.com. theconversation.com/why-is-stali...

#Trump supporters who scream about #freespeech pose the single greatest threat to free speech, and to #democracy, in the western world.

"If we remain silent when debates are needed, that endangers democratic culture itself." It was a pleasure to speak to @RND_de about #FreeSpeech in #Europe (interviewed in German but translation on request.) www.rnd.de/politik/mein...

Important article in @psychologytoday.com : Although @kayteegillis.bsky.social focuses on individual experience, the political implications are colossal. Do political agendas decide which past or present traumas "count" and which ones do not? www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/invi...

“These categories — #extremism, #Terrorism — are often artificial.” My recent interview warning against excessive regulation of speech. themedialine.org/top-stories/...

If you can't witness the forces of good devouring the forces of evil, then witness the forces of evil devouring themselves. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

As dumfounding as Vance: "the threat that I worry the most about..is not Russia, it's not China" but "the threat from within" Europe! @ericheinze.bsky.social "Vance was not totally wrong..Hungarians have faced relentless attacks on free speech" "Trump team tops the list" for "lessons in free speech"

What a pleasure to explore ideas with Andy Libson and Eduardo Barcal of the "What's Left" podcasts (www.whatsleftpodcast.com/about-me/) and to talk about my new book "Coming Clean." www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPhZ...

Waseem Akhtar of @dublincityfm.ie crosses boundaries from technology to philosophy. It was great to talk to him about #Politics, the left, and my new book "Coming Clean" with @mitpress.bsky.social dublincityfm.ie/shows/demyst...

As I wrote a decade ago, defamation law often goes too far beyond protecting vulnerable, private individuals to the point of damaging essential news and opinion about high-profile people and events. This has to change. #gerryadamsbbc theconversation.com/british-mp-e...

Congratulations to The Politics Guys celebrating their 10th anniversary of podcasts. It was great to discuss my new book "Coming Clean" (@mitpress.bsky.social) with Michael Baranowski. politicsguys.com/eric-heinze-...

What does my new book published by @mitpress.bsky.social have in common with Bono of @u2songs.bsky.social fame? Joe Humphreys explains in the @irishtimes.com. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Grant Reeher of @syracuseu.bsky.social is the rare expert who examines problems on the #left constructively. It was a pleasure to chat with him on @npr.org public radio about my new book "Coming Clean" with @mitpress.bsky.social. www.wrvo.org/podcast/camp...

"It is time for the Left to change course, not to do less Critical Theory, but to do more, not to become less woke, but to wager a new wokeness"

Great to see my new book "Coming Clean" (@mitpress) highlighted by @calebzakarin.bsky.social, Editor of the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. We discussed the future of progressive #politics. newbooksnetwork.com/coming-clean

We need to become "more woke, but not in the way you think." @heeger.bsky.social reviews my new book published with @mitpress.bsky.social in the leading Danish newspaper @berlingske.bsky.social [English translation available in PDF].

The best part of this event was speaking in the First Congregational Church which had this notice posted on every door. #immigration
