I remember a few years ago when I was 16 our English teacher told us about Michael Moore films and bowling for columbine. We just worked on bits but I went ahead and saw the whole thing at home, and there is that scene where some guy mentions he cooked napalm with the "anarchist cookbook", which was very confusing to hear as a student mostly doing word by word translation (I think that's the scene right after they show a bank where you get a free shotgun for opening an account).
So anyways I google it there is all this wonderful and detailed ways to manufacture narcotics, gorilla fighting devices and stuff like tear gas, explosives.
I'm not gonna lie,I bought it. But I'm not interested in harming people I am just super curious and Im pretty sure I could defuse a basic IED if I came across one. Not eager to try though
I already got a burned hand from rocket candy (solid propergol for amateur rocketry) and I'm not doing fire related stuff anytime soon.
I'm curious what do you think about that kind of books ? Not sure it falls under free speech since its technically just recipes but there is certainly a case to be made about freedom to share knowledge and educational stuff ?
