opinions but

9:59

um but do you know what I mean like I

10:02

think that people are not very good with

10:03

nuance and uh are very self-righteous

10:07

about their opinions these days more

10:08

than they used to be I do think we are

10:10

socializing to thinking we do have

10:12

freedom speech whether we necessarily

10:14

have it is a different story I think

10:16

yeah but we're all told that I know we

10:19

all personally believe that we do to

10:21

some extent I think yeah what do you do

10:24

about things like

10:26

um art an expression

10:28

I'm speaking from a sense of like

10:31

retrospective

10:33

stuff like recently I just thought of in

10:35

the news there's a thing about Monty

10:36

Python at the moment and there's a

10:39

there's a section of Life of Brian which

10:40

is now

10:42

kind of seen as a bit transphobic right

10:43

and they're talking of cutting this out

10:45

okay how do you feel about this should

10:48

we leave out as it is or should we edit

10:50

it to our modern society

10:53

I I don't think it should be edited to

10:55

modern society people should again learn

10:58

what it used to be like yeah and if we

11:01

don't want to go down that road again

11:03

then don't go down it but there's I feel

11:06

like history has happened you can't just

11:08

not yeah you can't just ignore it yeah

11:11

people shouldn't be bubble wrapped into

11:13

a perfect world
