    hu, is that like self restraint?

    Don’t most cultures hold that in positive regard? Kind of keep our selves from doing and saying dumb things, maybe?

    That is not a beep

    There censorship is at gunpoint and sort of goes blam blam.

    and conceals from the stupid,
    the vast limits of their knowledge.

    Nah. Most dictatorshps doesn't go through material before its published. But they make it perfectly clear what happens if the wrong words are said, thus people will censor themselves.

    This is the reason for the authoritarian reflexes we see in people working in dictatorships. The censorship has been both socialized and automated, and the subject no longer thinks about what he's ding, he simply conforms to the norms.

    At least with committees, you will see a constant battle, with people consistantly trying to push the limits. That won't happen with self-censorship.
