"We can do better" is not a Hitlerian final solution. I'm calling for having taste, not building gulags.
Tall about mixed metaphors!

Nobody said anything about a “final solution” or gulags.

“We can do better” and “calling for having taste” certainly seems to imply a command-economy approach to the marketplace of ideas.

If that’s not what you intended, what do you mean by “have taste” and “do better”?

No. This is a trunk of ideas, not a "marketplace of ideas." I have some wares in there. You can move on if none of it appeals to you.

I'm just some strings in your computer. I can't make you do anything. There's no policy work being done here.
