The Navy banned his talk… Just a year ago, Ryan Holiday stood before students at the U.S. Naval Academy and urged them to be courageous — not only in combat, but in thought. This year, that same institution canceled his talk because he refused to stay silent about the removal of nearly 400 books from its library. Holiday’s message was clear: preserve what truly matters, but don’t confuse conventions for wisdom. Real leadership requires discernment, not blind obedience — curiosity, not comfort. As physicist Richard Feynman once said, “Just because something has been true for a long time… doesn’t mean it’s right.” Curiosity is one of our greatest responsibilities. To lead is to question, to challenge complacency, and to protect the freedom to seek knowledge — even the knowledge we disagree with. #Politics #Navy #Leadership #Censorship #Curiosity
