Back in the day, permission was the key that could unlock the door that gave access to free expression.
Huffing, puffing, presenting spectacles and airing ideas in real time was seen to be the way forward.

Looking back, one might wonder what would have happened if psychological shackles had been loosened much earlier.
In any case, it doesn’t really matter, since we still have today. We can give ourselves permission to be free.
