“Satire must always accompany any free society. It is an absolute necessity. Even in the most repressive medieval kingdoms, they understood the need for the court jester, the one soul allowed to tell the truth through laughter.

It is the canary in the coalmine, a cultural thermometer, and it always has to push, push, push the boundaries of society to see how much it’s grown.” WayNeedsIdeasSoulFormHatePowerfulSpeechLaughterUnderstoodAbsolutesCourtSpreadBoundariesKingdomsTelling The TruthSatireMost PowerfulFree SpeechMedievalFree SocietyAccompanyJesterThermometersCanariesCourt Jester Author:Joe Randazzo
