27 January 2010 - censorship

Censorship is like inflation—the problem is not so much that it happens as that it is unpredictable. If censorship practice stayed constant over time, people would soon settle on circumlocution stategies and life would go on as always, only with an esthetically delightful extra layer of social indirection. But instead, censorship injects noise and thus inefficiency into your political economy.

Due to natural forces, both inflation and censorship are difficult to eradicate. Clearly, the solution is to stabilize censorship by the establishment of a central bank to regulate the currency of expressions and control the funny supply.
