YC123 Union Day State History Seminar "The Rise of Meritocracy"

Having reviewed a log of the proceedings, I see why the last speech was cut. I would advise the audience, though, that it’s useful to indicate why something is edited from the official proceedings, instead of just slapping a CENSORED on it. The ravings of a madman are, after all, worth acknowledging as such, and it may help to defuse curiosity, excepting perhaps for curiosity from the professionally curious.

Additionally, I’m entertained by how circumspect Ms. Kim has become about her Heth hero worship, such that she’s editing it from official proceedings. For instance, in the response to pilot Zhaikawi, Ms. Kim’s edited portion reads, “Ms. Zhaikawi, if you came in here to insult one of the Greatest Heroes of Caldari State, Tibus Heth himself, our former Executor, leader of the State for five years, hero of Armor Forge, Liberator of Caldari Prime, the man who gave us Reforms and New Meritocracy, who died in the fight against Sansha Invaders in Aivonen and who, while being the leader of whole interstellar Empire was fightng with common soldiers, I would ask you to leave.”

It’s relatively innocuous, standard fare for a Provist.
