Just learned about early American "Brothel Tokens." Madams had a stash of ONE CENT coins where the E in CENT had been altered to, um, another vowel. They handed out one token on receipt of payment by a customer, which gave access to the brothel. Human ingenuity in baseness has a long pedigree.

The use of philosophy is to sadden. A philosophy which saddens no one, that annoys no one, is not a philosophy. It is useful for harming stupidity, for turning stupidity into something shameful. Its only use is the exposure of all forms of baseness of thought.
