Is “marketplace of ideas” actually a Schelling point? It seems more like the temporary absence of a a Schelling point (at least, once stripped of idealism).
But I’m not totally comfortable with its inclusion on my list. For example, both Europe and America operate on the same basic free speech principle (Allow speech unless it is too “dangerous”/”uncivil”), yet the two regimes are substantially different in practice. This discontinuity is a substantial challenge to the accurate of the label “Schelling point” when applied to freedom of speech.

I got the idea from Yvain here.
