Words Poorly Used #1 — Chaos
Senator Sam Hayakawa was a man of many hats, but his principle claim to fame was as a linguist. I learned semantics from Professor Hayakawa. “If you see in any given situation only what everybody else can see, you can be said to be so much a representative of your culture that you are a…

She tells him that…
Social Coercion, a Discussion
I thought I’d share the discussion on Facebook that led to me writing my column on social coercion, between Aaron and Steve (with minor edits and comments in brackets). It’s far more detailed than my column was and I wanted to archive it here. Skyler. Steve: “Social coercion” I define as the pressure one individual or…
