Fear of Good News

It is important to find good news in the world. After all, we need a certain amount of optimism to get out of bed in the morning. Yes, hope is just the setup for disappointment as I learn more about the situation, but still...

Consider the "Academy of Ideas" videos on You Tube. Nothing could be more subversive from You Tube's point of view. And yet these videos are permitted. Is it just because the Academy of Ideas knows how to disguise itself with general words and avoid certain specific keywords that You Tube would automatically censor?

Is there an official list of forbidden phrases and words on You Tube? Or can you only learn those words the "hard way."

In a censored society, it must become quite a game and a habit to express yourself indirectly through disguise or allegory.
