Episode notes
Over time, the boundaries of what can be said publicly have expanded, with a greater acceptance of diverse opinions and freedom of expression. The decline of authoritative control over speech has led to a smaller range of topics that are considered off-limits. Self-censorship has emerged as an issue, where individuals may shy away from expressing their true thoughts due to social considerations. Despite this, engaging in comedy acts as a cathartic release, encouraging open and interesting discussions. The essence lies in the sincerity, intelligence, and intentions of the speaker, rather than the controversial nature of the topics being discussed.
