There has never been a greater opportunity for "free speech" in this country than today. The internet allows every crackpot in the world to publicize their craziness to a world-wide audience. Take away the internet, and the 911 "truthers" would have been a tiny cult. Same with Q-Anon. Or perhaps there would have been no Q-Anon. To complain about eroding free speech is to make every day "opposite day."
Agreed.
It's clear that people aren't feeling like their speech is actually threatened. They aren't crying for "free-speech," they are crying for "consequence-free free-speech." They want to be able to say whatever they want without suffering any consequences.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.
As Marcus pointed out, you pointed out the predictive ability backwards. But beyond that, associations are not causation. Are you completely free of schizotypal and autistic traits? What percentage of people who believe in conspiracy theories demonstrate schizotypal or autistic traits? What percentage of the population in general demonstrates these traits. Was this single study based on a random sample? Is any single study ever authoritative.
You habitually misuse individual studies. A strong advocate of science should know better.

Not just consequences. Many seem to want to be shielded from criticism. Free speech for me, but none for thee.

I was thinking primarily of criticism as the consequences they don't want. But yeah, they forget that criticism is also covered under free-speech.

He made some other videos that were pulled from YouTube:
Who is Bill Gates?
In May 2020, James Corbett produced an acclaimed four-part investigation titled Who is Bill Gates?"[6]
Part One: "How Bill Gates Monopolised Global Health"[7]
Part Two: "Bill Gates’ Plan to Vaccinate the World"[8]
Part Three: "Bill Gates and the Population Control Grid"[9]
Part Four: "Meet Bill Gates"[10]
BND,
This is the guy you’re throwing in with?
Also, why hasn’t he been executed by the Deep State, yet? You know. Because he’s outing them?

Humorously (sort of), the only study that cites this one (another group of Aussies) notes that the tendency to engage in systematic information searching (and a lack of scientific reasoning) is commonly associated with higher scores on autistic traits.
With them going with schizotypal traits, and the study being self-reporting with no clinical group, I'd venture that there was a heavy bias towards positive association with said traits amongst the groups volunteers.
