The one part that really stood out to me was the dynamic between the weak Prince and the powerful Minister. Since then it has become obvious to me that no matter how many times our elected officials are changed, the agenda keeps moving forward, and the distinction between political parties is a distinction without a difference.

Why would they call genital mutilation “gender affirming care?” If gender is defined by genitals, “gender affirming care” would be helping someone reconcile with their genitals, which define their gender. If gender is NOT defined by genitals, then “gender affirming care” would be helping someone ignore the irrelevant implication of their genitals, which do not define their gender. Destroying a person’s genitals surgically is neither “affirming” nor “care.” It is violence.

Actually Post Traumatic Stress Disorder describes the disorder accurately. The veterans came home from the war strong and confident toughing it all out until months or years later having a total break down. The term PTSD has been watered down to mean any stress a person goes through after any traumatic event even witnessing an event and immediately feeling the stress afterward. That was not the original meaning of the phrase.

Gender affirming care is doublespeak. It used to be sex change operations. This was direct and you knew what it meant. Gender affirming care can now be hormones or affirming someone’s perceived gender (that doesn’t match their sex). And this even leaves the door open for women that get plastic surgery as “gender affirming” or men getting surgery to correct gynecomastia is now “gender affirming care”. These could be “sex affirming” but they muddy the water so you get confused and think all these situations are the same

Trying to explain why things are not as the newspeak says can make you pretty long-winded too. The "simple" words have all been redefined and co-opted, so you have to say more that that which sounds common sense to people who have accepted these redefinitions. All the worse when your trying to point out something that went wrong long ago. I'm a Christian, and I would be an "evangelical", if you go by the old definition. But I have no intention of voting for either candidate, not the one who has promised to be what is basically a fascist, not the other sorry one, either. Now, evangelical has been vilified, just like fundamentalism was before. If I say I am a fundamentalist, it signals a love of violence, not adherence to five fundamental teachings of the Bible. After the Trumpers had their raid on the capitol building, they were called "evangelical" by the mainstream news media , nearly across the board, even though a lot of those railing, violence loving people, would tell you that they hate Jesus! Are you a Christian if you hate Jesus? So what am I supposed to call what I believe? Mainly, I just say a believer in Jesus, although we get lambasted for being "ashamed" to call ourselves Christian!

There is a term "Doublethink" in Orwell's novel, 1984. That's holding two contradictory concepts, sets of facts, etc in one's mind without realising the contradiction exists. Today, the term 'cognitive dissonance' is sometimes used to describe doublethink, but it's not exactly the same thing. I also recall "Newspeak" from 1984 - reducing the number of words in English, so there's less possibility to articulate dissent, or to discuss political, scientific, philosophical or historical matters. In reality, pairs of similar words are being smooshed together to mean the same thing. There are no fewer words in the language, but fewer distinctions of meaning, and many more (now) redundant duplicate words meaning the same things, but with correspondingly less precision and nuance.
@petertrebilco9430
17 күн бұрын
A fine point, I know…but: there is no meaning in words. The meaning is all in the sociocultural memory you have evolved since first becoming conscious. これは橋です is a perfectly formed sentence in the Japanese language-as-code. All language is a code used to unlock sociocultural memory. Bot moct is also a perfectly formed sentence, in the Russian language-as-code. Esto es un puente is a perfectly formed sentence in the Spanish language-as-code. The point is that every string of sound-shapes (in English we call them words but in some languages, such as Japanese and Braille, they are pictographs (shapes) or prominences on a surface, used to represent ideas) represents an ordinarily understood sociocultural memory…of a bridge. All three strings are the same as the English language-as-code sentence: This is a bridge. This example is used in linguistics to demonstrate that meaning is not in the language-as-code. It’s in and only in the sociocultural memory of an individual. That meaning is unlocked by a relevant language-as-code, one understood by the individual. The manufacture of consent, the manipulation of language, typically result in manipulation of meaning in the minds of individuals. The more an idea is repeated, the more prominent it is in sociocultural memory (forgetting is a lack of sufficient repetition and reinforcement). This is one reason literacy in schooling is vitally important. Without sociocultural memory predicated on broad and repeated experiences, and critical thought, language can only unlock less and less, forming intellectual servant to the ideas of the literate and manipulative.

A few euphemisms spring to mind, 'Collateral Damage' = burned and ripped apart babies. 'Surgical Strike' = see 'Collateral Damage'. I think what the US does exceptionally well, is tying something regarded as almost sacred, to the most horrific, barbarities, such that, dissonance is so great that thought is avoided. Most obviously, 'Swearing allegiance to the flag' in school, EVERY DAY. For YEARS, and then that flag flies over soldiers, who are invading a foreign country and butchering the inhabitants. The impossibility is so huge, that we assume, it must be more complicated than we can imagine, rather than, our govt., is doing horrific things, and our soldiers are butchers. That's a tough one to hold. 'This is not, who we are.' is the most disgusting placard, someone can carry at a US anti-war demo. How many wars, invasions, coups do you need to see, before you realise that, 'This IS who you are'.

Their were wars we should of never gotten into but Republican Presidents lied to the American People so they could have an excuse to go to war. War makes more revenue the rich get richer during war!! Read your history!! Viet Nam was one of our biggest mistakes and it was a complete disaster, Afghanistan was another huge mistake but that was for retaliation for Sept 11. World War 2 we fought 2 enemys The Japanese and Hitler but we needed to go in and we won. The bombing of 2 cities in Japan was a horrible huge unforgiving mistake which was also built on a lie I think it was whoever was before Kennedy that had us bomb Hiroshima which theirs actually a movie called that that's horrific then their was another city as well that was bombed. Then Japan bombed Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. Then we went to war against Japan. The Gulf War was the War that Bush Senior got us into I really don't remember the specifics of why we went in but then we battled the Iatola Kolmeini that's another one that made no sense to go in. So not ever War was justified but the ones that were we needed to be there. We needed to go in and kill Hitler and as many Nazi Generals as we could while Hitler ravished eastern Europe he was a monster that had to be stopped no matter what. Even though he didn't invade the US he needed to be taken out and I will never be sorry for us being there. World War 1 and the Korean War and The Revolutionary War. The Civil War the North had to win the South were against abolishing Slavery!! The North had to win. A horrible war for Sure. But the South which at the time The Confederates The Democrats were auful. And the Republicans Lincoln were the good guys. And then they switched party's after the war.

1:19 - that man is Prof. Willam Lutz. He wrote the books "Doublespeak" and "Doublespeak 2". He was also my English literature professor at RU-C. I had him for two courses. Very smart man, unafraid to ask you questions the knock you off your pedestal and start critical thinking. He never mentioned the books in class..EVER. Stuck to the classics of Greek/Roman and later Middle Ages literature. I only learned after i graduated that he wrote these, and read them eagerly. He was an EDUCATOR, not a TEACHER (you know the difference in 2024) and will be missed.

I don’t think Jordan Peterson’s intent is to obscure or try to sound intelligent.

Jordan at times engages in the very post modernism claptrap that he rails against. He certainly tends to obfuscate in so much that he'll be willing to tie up a conversation with gobbledygook, jargon, and euphemisms. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Albert Einstein. I do like Peterson, but that doesn't mean he's beyond criticism for some of his rambling takes.

When I sit and watch this video I realise that I need to do it again and again to understand the concepts at hand. A few things come to mind at first listening, “Simulacra et Simulation” is one and time is the other. Words and meanings have context in the timeframe they are expressed. The phrases used to describe horrors of war being an example. If you think about “shell shock”, it was used to describe only small amount of people at the front end of brutal trench warfare, the rest of the population was oblivious to the horrors. Role time forward and the referencing frame changes as do the same words, except they change to describe the condition as PTSD and then they also use it to describe a wide array of conditions affecting masses of people. Time and context ! Anyway, most humans are children who can’t handle the truth.

When I was in my junior year of high school, I remember a spiritualist was hired to entertain us. The audience hall was full, about 175 kids and teachers. He proceeded to show us how he was going to hypnotize us and even told us how he would have us at his will. Much of the audience fell into his hypnotic trance, some more deeply than others and some like myself were wide awake and not affected. This stayed with me all my life, and now I understand many things.

Hypnotism is basically what witchcraft looks like in the real world. Alister Crowley, an actual Satan-worshipper, described magic as the ability to manipulate others. Usually motivated by the love of money (the root of all kinds of evil) witchcraft is how people end up paying for things that hurt them while rejecting free things that would help them. They allow themselves to be manipulated and deceived. In scripture, Satan’s role is that of a deceiver; he can’t force us to do anything, but people follow his ways because we let ourselves be deceived. It’s unfortunate that schools expose kids to that kind of thing. My theater teacher in high school had us lying on the ground emptying our minds, trying to “let our character take control of us.” I was the only kid who didn’t participate because it was obviously shady.
