Is Free Speech Evil? w/ Dr. Chloe Carmichael

If you’re deeply committed to ideological purity or easily offended by nuance, this episode may be uncomfortable. And honestly, that might be the point. But if you’re a freethinker; someone who values truth over trend and curiosity over conformity, you’re going to have a great time. Dr. Chloe Carmichael is a clinical psychologist and the bestselling author of Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety. Her new book, “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly”, dives deep into the psychological impact of censorship, not just on public discourse, but on our internal lives, relationships, and mental health. In this conversation, we explore the emotional toll of self-censorship and how it quietly erodes authentic connection. We talk about the confusion between emotional discomfort and actual harm, and how that confusion is being used to justify silence. Dr. Chloe sheds light on how universities became epicenters of groupthink, and why we’re seeing a generation increasingly afraid of free thought. We discuss impression management, fragile egos, and the false selves people construct just to survive in today’s ideological climate. And yes, we even ask whether what we’re witnessing amounts to a kind of mass psychological regression. Nothing is off the table, and that’s exactly the point. 00:00 – Intro 02:45 – Why Dr. Chloe wrote Can I Say That? 06:10 – Authenticity, censorship, and rising loneliness 11:35 – When fear of offense kills real connection 16:20 – The emotional cost of self-censorship 19:05 – Free speech vs emotional safety: the false binary 24:30 – Groupthink, purity culture, and ideological conformity 28:45 – Impression management & the creation of a false self 34:50 – Are we in a mass psychological regression? 41:15 – When “freedom” starts sounding like “hate” 47:40 – Safe spaces, infantilization, and emotional resilience 53:20 – The real dangers of speech suppression 57:00 – Is Dr. Chloe a free speech absolutist? 01:02:00 – What’s at stake if we stay silent?
