There it is. Well articulated. This.. system is dynamic. What has helped me the most to "get it" was when I started studying language and Rhetoric. Wittgenstein, Austin, Burke, Searle.. I came to appreciate language more and its role in society. While I am still learning, I have realized that the understanding of this technology ( language) has been weaponized and is not easily defeated. How you condensed this concept into just this essay was remarkable. I have many other thoughts but first and foremost bravo. Well done.
