Ooh, not only is "Overton" capitalized but so is "Window."
Even better-- since the main use of the term has been to elucidate changes to acceptable discourse over time, simply calling it a "shifting Overton Window" would be rather pedestrian. Rather than reflect honestly on the purpose of writing that sentence, the author seems to double down by adding the word "rapidly" to make the sentence appear as more than a mere truism.
In conclusion, I agree with the author's point that authors should stop lying to themselves and just write their actual opinions.
But seriously, solving writer's block seems ripe for disruption. How are there not already several Decentralized Apps in this space? Did the regulators beat us all to the punch?
