Reasons not to scoff at ghosts, visions and near-death experiences

I’m not sure I really needed “fart” to be censored to “f——“. Am I out of touch with how acceptable it is to use the word fart? Am I going to accidentally offend someone?

In the same sentence but before the quote it is not censored. I'm guessing that the censorship was part of the original quote. Given that Kant wrote in the 1700s I could see it being considered impolite at the time.

It’s a quote from 1766, so you’re only out of touch with the 18th century.

Relax, I'm a time traveler from the future. By 3030 fart is the only acceptable word. I've taken great risk by typing this message.
