- gruez 7y agorelevant quote from pg: > No one gets in trouble for saying that 2 + 2 is 5, or that people in Pittsburgh are ten feet tall. Such obviously false statements might be treated as jokes, or at worst as evidence of insanity, but they are not likely to make anyone mad. The statements that make people mad are the ones they worry might be believed. I suspect the statements that make people maddest are those they worry might be true. http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html

Here's a fun game to play: close your eyes and imagine yourself in their shoes, hanging on to power day after day by a thread, relying on fear and coercion to keep on going. Now comes such an episode making fun of you in front of the people you scare for a living. What do you do?
