I don't understand your question. I think this is a clear statement.
Here are three quotes I particularly like which express what I was thinking when I wrote the above ( albeit tongue in cheek

)
The concept that knowledge and freedom often occur or arise togehter: If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us.The free mind is no barking dog to be tethered on a 1 foot chain. Theodor Wisegrund Adorno The concept that different ideas may cause conflict but positive outcomes are more likely to occur if we can express ideas freely : Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly, as when to discuss it freely. Thomas Babington The concept that learnt knowledge passed onto succeeding generations has an influential power to strengthen or diminish future generational choices : Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved OR diminished by how freely we exchange ideas (Knowledge)and feelings. Walt Disney
