19/ It’s very weird, on several levels, that the contemporary variety of social justice has so thoroughly dominated our culture’s ideas without producing one influential work of art, fiction, or music.

That’s because it’s godawful stultifying, boring, and anti-creative. Social justice for some reason came to be all about what you can’t say, can’t do, can’t transgress, or explore, or ask questions about. No great art came directly out of the Spanish Inquisition either, and there’s a very similar reason for that.
