    I almost wonder what Huffman is thinking right now - he could have been so very close to becoming a billionaire, managing the repository of human general technical knowledge explained simply, but he blew it by being a greedy piggy…

    Not that he will ever admit that, even to himself.

        His decision tree is like: I say yes, content creators say no, admin rights say yes tho, market ends up saying no tho, the end.

          You say no
          You say stop
          And I say go, go, go….

            So many songs about rape… tbf I don’t get that vibe from that Beatles song that seems more about just opposite phrases:-), but in general, we have it far too much in our culture.

              Messages simply cannot be removed from their context and retain their meaning. According to Paul McCartney, as you say, this is simply a song about opposites.
