True, but do you (HN readers) look on transgression only with
nostalgia? What would be usefully transgressive today? Much subversive
humour is Socratic in just asking (pointing out) hard questions.
In that vein, TBH I find it hard to square a post celebrating famous
British humour on a site where any humour, whether good or in poor
taste, is mercilessly punished by downvoting and faux outrage. I'm not
calling hypocrisy, just pointing to an odd juxtaposition of values.
Do y'all delight in things the Python team said precicely because you
wouldn't tolerate it or have the personal sense of security to say it
today?
