Swearing and language rules are “made up”. The idea of harm is programmed into us.

People don’t riot despite receipts for priests molestation. They don’t riot over social scandal after social scandal. They’ll riot when they can’t feed their families. Most on the planet aren’t as obsessed with the pristine syntactic structures like the HN crowd. They never asked to exist and just want to live in conventional terms and die.

Like religion it’s just made up constraints; biological tick some all seeing eye will get mad.
