Note re: trump/vance/msm) and their tripartite misuse of language, "...The world of language constitutes the human person who is born into it, who is part of it, and who enters it by learning its meaning already shared by all. I can even destroy all common understanding of words, recreating and re-molding every word at my will (see their use of "chrstian/catholic"), rewriting a world in my own image and likeness, but I can only do so by accepting and inscribing myself in rules of a language already given, on pain of speaking a language all and only mine, understood therefore by me alone: this is the image of madness or idiocy in the etymological sense of the term. Speech, the common language, is the first common reason and is one of the indispensable aspects of the common good. Language is the first social category to be recognized, the one in which and from which each individual is given in his or her relations with others; in fact, language is a mirror of reality and not its false image. Reality shapes language and not the other way around…”—A ‘Wise and Discerning People’ and its Legislation," byOttavio De Bertolis, SJ July 22, 2024
Great quotation. Embracing the variety of linguistic expression is key to the expansion of human health. This is why we need ever more languages and more interpreters of them, not less. The desire for an AI styled One World Esperanto solution is akin to embracing the death of the planet through Holsteinisation of all species and monolithic agri business.
