LANGUAGE: What does it mean? How is it used? Where did a word come from?How is language used to conflate unrelated issues? How does language become "...a distortion of facts and riddled with 'half truths'." -RicS How is language used "manipulatively, or... [as] a very handy hook to divert the debate...?" -Ellis A gaggle of geese; a clutch of eggs; a lock of hair; a retort of reports; a pod of peas; a month of Sundays....There's a book, An Exhaltation of Larks, that even goes into the history of this curious behaviour of language (or its speakers). What are your insights?Add comments, or develop into new Topics/threads. ~ The more I think about whether Economics is a science or not, the more I think that what we need is a... Science of Civilization. ...Civinomics? A Topic, may have started out with a discussion about the origins of the words economy and ecology. Economy: Latin, oeconomia = household management: => from the Greek, oikonomia => from oikonomos = a steward (oikos = house + nemein = to manage). Economic: Latin, oeconimicus = orderly, methodical: => from the Greek, oikonomikos = economical (oikos = house + nomikos = ?). Ecology: from the Greek (oikos = house + ology = science of). ~just fyi
Pyrolysis creates reduced carbon! ...Time for the next step in our evolutionary symbiosis with fire.
