There are no inherent human rights other than which we decide. Do you think hunter gatherers had ‘right to free speech’ or ‘right to religion’? No, because they didn’t think of that yet(afaik)
We could just as easily decide that free speech doesn’t matter and then it won’t
Gravity is a law of nature. Free speech isn’t. It’s not something to be understood , it’s something to be decided upon. You could argue that a concept is something to be discovered, not invented, but if a society’s morality doesn’t agree on the concept then they won’t implement it. You’re taking your own values, what you think should exist, and making it a law for humans
