If you say that 1+1=2 and they say that 1+1=3, what should be done?
That’s an excellent question. I wish I knew the answer.
Then you need to read "1984" to the end (the book, not the movie)
Yup,
2 + 2 = 5, I love big brother.BTW, reading Julia right now, which is the same setting, but with more graphic language and a dose of feminism. Will probably follow up with a re-read of 1984, it's been a few years.
I suppose it depends on your goals - for a child or pet, is it okay to lie to them or simply force the issue, whereas for an adult human, how far should someone go to remove from them the consequences of their own actions?
Interesting article about the changing language surrounding climate change. Like now it's starting to become climate emergency/breakdown/crisis, but before any of that it was global warming, and in the 80s apparently it was "inadvertent climate modification".
Never forget that behind the mobs is a controller.
If progress can be made by being a week (more likely years) earlier than them on terminology to actually achieve progress. I'm here for it.
For examples, please see: The change in nomenclature from UFO to UAP and how that has played out in mainstream media and government.
1 should be renamed to 2, obviously.
