the overton window cannot be blown apart.

to do so would be to make all topics and all viewpoints socially acceptable. this seems neither possible nor desirable.

it's really about getting the window to be in the correct place.

Don't you get the feeling that since 2000, it's the "Overton periscope" rather than window, that we've been fighting for control over?

Feels like this should be an easy one but, alas, no.

An Overton-lighthouse?

Or Overton Panopticon watchtower?

Overton mountain top?

Something like that, where you can get a full 1060 degree rotation going.

Overton Panopticon is a little dark, methinks.

I like it.
