"Are We Throwing Out the Dictionary?" (pt 1 of 2)
This week on Totally Classic, Andy & Brendan wrangle with the novel semantic system progressives may have somewhat silently proposed. From topsy-turydom of classic semantics (first is typically primary) to embracing novel definitions of "racism" and "gender" and "person," much of the modern progressive philosophical set is based on these proposals.
Is new always better? Is ancient wisdom always the best? Is language always evolving or can it devolve?
Are these polar opposite approaches a key part of the communication difficulties between the left and right?
Andy & Brendan try to define terms, define how they define terms and define how they make their way through the modern miasma of "one tongue, two languages!"
