Study the linguistic change over the past couple of decades and the picture will be very clear to you.
Learn about Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Words have meaning.

YES!

Exactly.

I have some forthcoming projects related, and one directly and specifically about that. Might as well start it now. Here's a first example:

Molyneux has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Me too. IMO, he's a charlatan. He's Canadian, as am I, and that's about all we share in common. YouTube always presents random stuff to me, and in this case the clickbait title lured me (without me seeing his last name), so I took a chance on this less than 3 minute video (always at 2x speed).

Turns out Molyneax is like a stopped analog clock, right twice a day* . I would have presented this differently, but I felt it worth sharing to consider. Tyranny is more problematic that Stefan.

* Some broken clocks are never or rarely right - digital displays, missing hands, incorrect time but still running, etc.

I find myself agreeing with him a lot. But he just has this overly emotive way of communicating which has always raised red flags for me.

He wears his blinders and biases on his sleeve.
