There’s a very good American philosopher of language, who says that the point of philosophy is to refine the language so that it functions effectively again (like a sharpened tool). Very emotional and non-philosophical people are self-serving and not at all careful with the way their use of terminology can detract from the usefulness of the language generally.

For no shame how about Matel who pulled their Barbie book entitled, “I want to be an engineer” from Amazon’s book list?
“Barbie is featured in the book as a stylishly pink-clad computer engineer that somehow breaks everything and doesn’t know how to code. She does draw puppies though. This lady hacker needs the help of two dudes named Steve and Brian to do the real programming work cuz she’s just, “creating design ideas.” “
I suppose that the next title will be “I want to be a professor.”
Gee Professor. Can you tell us about the Catalan independence poll? “No hablo Espanol,” giggles Barbie, “but my boyfriend, Ken can help you while I fix my hair.”
