How is worth determined at all? Who gets to say who belongs and who doesn't, who is worth hearing and who isn't? Who gets to stand as gatekeepers to ideas and knowledge?
For those used to sitting only at the top of long tables, the answer to these questions may sound different than for those at the round table. At the round table, worth is determined freely and intrinsically.
No, not all ideas should be given equal weight. But what it takes for each idea to get past the designated gatekeepers should be meted out equally.
For how can one truly say that there is freedom, and all who are worthy are heard at the table, when the road towards a seat is tilted to favor some and rigged against another?
