"Føleri-samfunnet: Å vurdere ting er slemt udannet?"

The only permissible judgment in polite society
is that no judgment is permissible.

A century-long reaction against Victorian prudery, repression,
and hypocrisy,
led by intellectuals who mistook their personal problems for
those of society as a whole,
has created this confusion.

It is as though these intellectuals were constantly on the run from their stern,
unbending, and joyless forefathers
and as if they took as an unfailing guide to wise conduct

either the opposite of what their forefathers said and did,
or what would have caused them most offence,
had they been able even to conceive of the possibility of such conduct.
