I’m not a big fan of irony.

It’s a slippery slope that quickly leads to sarcasm and cynicism.

Paraphrasing the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, irony can occasionally be used by the master to drive home an already sharpened point that much further, but should generally be avoided by the beginner, as it is obvious and simple (in the worst sense).

Most irony falls into the category of “city ideas.”

Remember it is much easier to critique than to create.
