Things that were shocking are now banal. However some things that were banal are now controversial if not shocking.
For as long as societies en-masse suppress truths and aspects of reality (maybe the health of a society is based on the degree to which it does this) there’s room for a shock. And current western society is suppressing a lot. However it takes character and talent to be the messenger.
Great piece.
