I laughed and responded how I was a Harry Potter fan. The conversation went into a very brief direction of right and wrong.

I had a pretty good discussion with an author once about this and the conclusion we came to is that the only time censorship is permissible is when it comes to young children because there are some horrible things out there that they'd have trouble processing which could seriously mess them up. Which leads to a separate and interesting discussion on how people mature mentally in different ways and at different rates and at what age is it reasonable to assume that everybody has the mental capacity to grapple with difficult or horrific issues, etc. Which also dovetails into a separate but interesting discussion on the potential of internet usage exposure to expose young people to things they're not ready to deal with. Yeah but for adults censorship is bogus.

Just a piece of random information. Lady Chatterley's Lover was actually inspired by a true story. It was about the love shared by a noble woman named Lady uterlene Moral.( this name is spelled completely incorrect, because I can't get Google to find her.) Who had a romance with the groundskeeper of her husband's home. She was also known for having many different lovers, because her husband refused to have a sexual relationship with her. A part of the tragedy in her story was that her lover actually died just a couple years after they fell in love, and the author did not ask her permission before writing the book. If you ask me, that should have made it bad. But at that time such considerations weren't made.

There can be two reasons why Darwin was not censored. The Index targeted books that were not obviously anticatholic. So atheists such as Marx or Nietzsche were not banned because there was no doubt that they were not to be trusted. On the other hand Erasmus, Montaigne or Hugo were not openly anticatholics, Erasmus himself opposed Luther during the reformation. Other possible explanation is that the Catholic Church was not entirely opposed to the evolution theory. Rather to some conclusions extrapolated from it, such as Nietzsche's Übermensch

Fun fact about the actual burning of books: In 1520, during the Reformation in Germany, Martin Luther's writings were to be taken out of the library of the University of Cologne and publicly burned. The ruler of Cologne was a - Catholic - Archbishop. Nobody dared to complain, and the city's "police force" entered the library to execute the order. Only problem: They couldn't read. So they ordered students to get all of Luther's books. But the students took the books of Luther's enemies, even swapping covers and title pages.

It's an interesting video but I feel you dodged the hardest part of the conversation by mentioning only examples of book censorship that your largely left-leaning audience would be against. What about books that do the apology of pedophilia? Of Nazism? That relate crimes committed in real life without proper framing or the consent of victims? Concerning pedophilia, a recent example comes to mind: In France right now, there is a huge debate about Gabriel Matzneff, a writer who basically made a career of writing about how much he likes to have sex with children. He used to be protected and well regarded by the intelligentsia, even receiving accolades from former president François Mitterrand. But recently Vanessa Springora, one of Matzneff's former victims (she's mentioned in his books, which are largely auto-biographical), now grown up, has published her side of the story, putting her abuse to light. Since then, Matzneff has experienced a huge fall from grace. Should we ban his books? Keep them but preface them with more context? Restrict access to permitted readers? Forbid him from earning any money from them? It's a tough problem, one I'm really on the fence about, and unfortunately it can't be solved by rolling eyes at silly bigots.

It would be great if parents and schools talked about what the Nazis believed, in detail. Why? because kids are encountering fascist-sympathizing content with no preparation about what it is let alone why it is wrong. Whether via writing or videos a large portion of kids are unfamiliar and unprepared on what the will encounter online. No reason to ban or censor it, but a reason to go over what most of the free-world believes and why they believe it.

@@christophertrainor282 private spaces are just at the whim of the person/company who owns them. As long as nothing is breaking any of the freedom of speech exceptions. Eg shouting something in a crowded area to cause a panic( freedom of speech does not protect that. ) Companies get to pick all the rules they want for their platform. A company will create rules on what they are willing to host. Which is usually whatever won't get them in legal trouble, or issues that are too likely to cause costumers/users to turn away. Examples being like hate speech, hate speech is illegal and so a company must have systems in place to deal with it. Speech that incites violence is illegal so all companies have rules against. But for things like conspiracy theories, civil rights, ect those are all up to what the company wants to support or not support or not even take a stance on. Like on KZitem a lot of LGBTQI+ discussion videos are demonetized because it falls under the grouping that is considered unsafe for advertisers. Since most companies don't want their ads running on videos discussing sex/genitals/ect.

Don't buy them, don't read them, or do read them and have a better stance at telling people why they are harmful. But don't burn books.

idk burning books in this day and age is mostly symbolic. Most books are digitalized so is not like they will be lost completely, and is very fast and easy to mass reprint. Is fine if you dont like it but individual book burning is not censoring of a work imo, as is not legally prohibiting a book and is not stopping anyone from getting the book again.

Thing is how do they know that a book is full of sin or pornography etc... Why because they've read them but now don't want others to. Obviously they can handle the moral assault but not others. It's never about the book or what's in it. As she said it about control, preventing people expanding their minds, etc. Look at the very fact that parts of America still taught Creation as fact and banned the teaching of evolution until the 60s. To the extent that the people who wanted evolution taught had to get a teacher who was willing to put his neck on the line to take the case to court. Still it was fought all the way to the supreme court. Madness.

@@itarry4 not really though. Most of the ppl calling for the bans of these books haven't even read them, they just 'heard' from someone else that they should be banned.

As for book burning in Mexico, a few survived. Ironically, Codex Borgia which has the most of the old beliefs is owned by the Vatican. I been trying to get a high quality version from the church themselves but no luck (don't recommend me the physical copy since there's obvious errors on it which could be its own discussion. Besides, I own that. Lol). Fun Nahuatl facts: Books (codices) were called amoxtli (pronounced a-mosh-tlee) and library is amoxcalli (a-mosh-ka-lee). To break it down, amox coming from amoxtli and calli meaning house. Book House.

Side note: many Chinese philosophies probably didn’t survive the book burnings of Emperor Qin. Confucius was one of the banned philosophers during that short dynasty who survived but who really knows what great ideas were lost in the political turmoil.

Eh, most modern historians doubt the extent of Li Si's censorship, if it happened at all. The only source is Sima Qian over a century after the fact, and he is notorious for painting the Qin dynasty in the worst possible light.

It's all of these little quipes and remarks by the princess that makes it so much better. Definitely one of the best presenters.

@@MsJeanneMarie This channel as a whole is amazing. I especially upvote the strong and diverse female presentation much needed in today's media (I have two little nieces, I have recently become VERY aware of gendering). They are all great, but something about the way she presents stuff makes it so... like we're all in on some inside lingo. It makes it not only informative and fun, but in some sense salonish, in the Parisienne sense.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the "Harry Potter" series or Judy Blume's books. Those are the ones I remember hearing about being censored or banned in my school years as a '90s kid. Also, I love that you brought up Victor Hugo. He got into such hot water for his writings he had to leave France (by self-exile, if I remember right) and he spent several years on the Channel Islands, continuing to spark society with his pen. One of my favorite books of his was written during his exile, "The Man Who Laughs", published in 1869. It's the story of a boy scarred with a Glasgow smile as a punishment to his father, a nobleman who had the audacity to speak for the people. The boy grows up unaware of his heritage, instead becoming a clown, but the nobles of course try to draw him back in to their world when it's politically convent for them. Or so they think. They expect to gain a puppet and instead they get an angry young man who gives them hell. It's a great book. I highly recommend it, and I've even written a play adaptation.
