" when it comes to crafting a future proof radical language. "

i tend to agree with ziggy more often that not on fundamental points. but that there is some hyper-prescriptive shit. you seriously want to do that? create a "future proof radical language"? as in, "no growth or adaptation allowed, the words defined by this language cannot be redefined or used in any way other than ... XXX"?

some intellectuals give FAR too much power to language, while demonstrating authoritarian behavior around it. just look at the left you so love to denigrate. (don't get me wrong, i consider the left as well as the right to be philosophical enemies myself).
