One unexpected upside of the culture war is that it makes kids more eager to learn. Kids love forbidden knowledge, and this has been growing rapidly as more ideas get banned.
Which ideas are “banned” in your opinion? Serious question. A lot of these “banned” ideas are ones I see discussed incessantly on this website and others.

1/2 "Banned" in this context does not mean "suppressed to total invisibility", but rather "taboo to publicly engage in if you do not want to have a serious problem later, at work, at school, from the police". In Saudi Arabia, that may mean atheism. In the US, well ...

2/2 ... denial of white privilege? Alternative explanations of low number of female programmers? If it will get an otherwise experienced employee fired from NYT or Google, it is taboo enough in my book.

I too would be interested to see more than a vague pithy platitude Considering pg has been so skeptical of the utility of Twitter as a medium for broaching complex social topics, I’m surprised at his willingness to weigh in with a conviction that belies the lack of any specifics

I think he means banned in whatever sector of society a kid's growing up in. The idea may be perfectly accessible, but some kids are being told it's a bad idea and they shouldn't look at it and believe an alternative idea instead.

On this website, where otherwise sane people go to go nuts. Try discussing the same ideas at a dinner party, you'll see what he means.And it only counts if you take the non-woke pov. For science, you know? :-)
