Say it were implemented in this world and you could say anything you like (written, spoken, signed whatever) to anyone who can hear/read/see it. What kind of problems could that create and are there any ways to resolve them without limiting that absolute free speech?

Could it even create unsolvable logical errors? E.g an omnipotent god can’t create a stone too heavy for itself to lift. Maybe there are similar things with absolute free speech.

      This is the one I’m using from the dictionary

      free from restriction or limitation; not limited in any way: absolute freedom.

      From your sentence

      […] you should be able to say anything that is not a direct incitement to actionable violence. Some would call that absolutist

      I think it’s clear that by definition they are incorrect.

      However, I’d go further back to another thing you said

      But also I would argue that anyone who is calling anyone else a free speech absolutist is misunderstanding what that other person stands for.

      I disagree there. It’s some. “Anyone” is without exception.
