So we have a cool new word that makes it easier for people to disagree, ignore, not discuss, and not understand. Words have power, and this one is a loss for humanity.
- withinboredom 2y agoIf you have ever been around little kids, you know that they don't need any new words for this. And life pro-tip: words are just sound waves. The more distance you put between you and the source, the less power they have. Or, alternatively, drown them out with more powerful words.
- gibbitz 2y agoApply this to the "n slur" as my generation z daughter calls it. It starts as a soundwave or collection of letters but later it becomes a mental strata that justifications are hung on. Curious if the AI hype-machine will be able to turn this connotation around and/or to what extent it's responsible for the negative connotation this term has today.
