from my post on on sept 13 world view --
We are being played as fools because we do not want to be politically UNcorrect { politically correct, def.-conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated} ---- We can not bring ourselves to calling a spade a spade. Thanks to our educational system and the media. {To "call a spade a spade" is a figure of speech which explicitly calls out something as it is; by its right name. The implication is to not lie about what something is and to instead speak honestly and directly about a topic, specifically topics that others may avoid speaking about due to their sensitivity, unpleasant or embarrassing nature.}
Question. How can one make intelligent decisions based on suppressed information, half truths and lies?

“If the names are not correct, if they do not match realities, language has no object. If language is without an object, action becomes impossible—and therefore, all human affairs disintegrate and their management becomes pointless.”
Confucious (translated by Simon Leys)
New York Review of Books
As George Orwell wrote:
"The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible."

Unless we start calling a spade a spade ,--- we will experience severe pain, because we will be too far down the rabbit hole.
