Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.
I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.
We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.
I don’t care about the details. I just want an out-group to hate on.
I just recently heard it used that way. To describe “conservatives”. Much like “yikes” I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.
Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it’s thirdhand.
