Appreciate the interrogation of every day life that this kind of article brings. There's only one reality, but apparently so many truths. Truthseeker beware. Relatedly, George Carlin had a great bit about the naming of the condition soldiers experience coming back from war that hits this nail right on the flat round part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpVtJNv4ZNM&t=4s

Ah, this is so good! I wish I had seen that bit before I had written the article. Carlin was truly one of one.

My favorite recent euphemism: “Safe and effective” meaning the Final Solution to the Viral Question.

Hi and thanks for the article which is thought provoking, we are in a time where we are handing over the power of words to tech, who knows where that will go, maybe it will lead to deeper creative authenticity from us humans taking it back, I was interested you used this phrase ‘“Restorative justice” = No jail time, just paperwork’ obviously the process of restorative justice is open to different out comes, but I do believe it sometimes has good outcomes, so maybe not as negative as maybe portrayed, but maybe i misunderstood your point, anyway thanks for sharing
