On Soul School today they are some insights from the 2004 essay by Paul Graham “What We Can’t Say” (I’m reading excerpts). It has intellectual rigor and serves as an important reminder of the purpose of taboos in relation to power, how moral fashion works, and covers resisting our default setting of thinking what we are told to think. I don’t embrace all of his examples nor have I landed in the same places as some of his conclusions, but his thesis is a worthy one, and we are wise to listen and be challenged by it.
