A quotation from Salman Rushdie
Great art, or, let’s just say, more modestly, original art is never created in the safe middle ground, but always at the edge. Originality is dangerous. It challenges, questions, overturns assumptions, unsettles moral codes, disrespects sacred cows or other such entities. It can be shocking, or ugly, or, to use the catch-all term so beloved of the tabloid press, controversial. And if we believe in liberty, if we want the air we breathe to remain plentiful and breathable, this is the art whose right to exist we must not only defend, but celebrate. Art is not entertainment. At its very best, it’s a revolution.
Salman Rushdie (b. 1947) Indian novelist
Speech (2012-05-06), Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, PEN World Voices Festival, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/rushdie-salman/85205…

#Books #Teaching #Controversy
I've read books by angry people, and I've taken a college class taught by an earnest convert who disdained those who hold to his former beliefs. I've also sat on a commisison that had to consider complaints by offended, upset people. In none of this cases did I start out with a position in the matter.In my experience, stridency weakens arguments. At the least, it gets in my way when I consider the positions--even if it elicits sympathy, this may be coupled with suspicion. Commonly, it raises a "Why are they protesting so hard?" flag. Almost always, my response is "Argue with them, not with me; just present your understandings. If I want theirs, I'll go to them. If you describe their positions, if you provide curated excerpts of what they say, it looks sketchy. The best you can do for someone who rolls the way i do is to say, "There are others who differ with me. Here are some references/links where you can look at their reasoning."
How do I respond?
I withdrew from the class, after giving it almost three months.
In conversation, I move on when I can tactfully quash a diatribe (against some other, but delivered to me), I'm making allowances for someone I care about who's hurting.
I've a similar experience with books.
When I sit on a commission, I struggle to listen for documentable who-what-when-where-amount facts. Whether the emotional overlay tugs at me or irritates me, either way it's not what I'm tasked to consider, primarily.

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116916873674213028
Why did I intentionally mash things up, in my October 2025 post to Reddit?
Because I wanted to ask something about AI.
I knew that what I truly wanted to post would be immediately hijacked by selfish anti-AI protesters who had zero interest in helping me.
So, I intentionally mashed my AI-related question with an unrelated controversial statement by a FreeBSD committer: "There is very little official about the FreeBSD forums. …". I refrained from providing a source for the quote – so readers could not easily identify the name of the committer.
The controversy of the mash-up made my post popular. I paid the expected price – people lying about me in The FreeBSD Forums, ad hominem abuse in Reddit, and so on – but ultimately, the ulterior motive worked:
― I gained an LLM-oriented answer.
