The argument is interesting but flawed. He points to a problem he sees, an increasingly high focus on being politically correct. And I agree it is a problem.

But he doesn't ask himself why. He doesn't try to understand why PC is so important right now, to the point to risk missing out on important and revolutionary ideas. And that made me think: where the best idea come from? Not from being free to be jerks but from questioning the status quo in constructive ways.

Why there's so much focus on Political Correctness right now? One possible answer is because the status quo has provided a windfall for White Educated Middle-Class Males with good connections at the expense of people further away from this description. Example? Are you a woman? You have to cope with molestation from entitled men. etc etc...

I'm crazy thinking that if we solve these problems we could then start again being open to crazy shit ideas, criticize each other ideas and keep things moving.

Or yes, we could be expats in China, where for now this problem hasn't emerged yet. But it sounds to me like just swiping the dirt under the rug. Is it innovative? Just asking...
