Is it legal to discuss Roko&#39;s basilisk? (click/research at your own risk)
<p>I'm a citizen of the United States of America. The First Amendment states that we have the freedom of speech, but I have heard there are limits to that. So that got me thinking: is it legal to discuss Roko's Basilisk, a theoretical being that just thinking about it will be harmful to you. It is technically possible for it to exist, so I was wondering if it's legal in the US to discuss it with one another.</p>

<p>Yes.</p>
<p>The First Amendment protects all speech, outside a few historically recognized exceptions, which include libel, perjury, incitement, and true threats. There is no exception for speech that injures the speaker himself.</p>
