A short thread on how LANGUAGE has been used against us.
Why do we use words to mean the opposite of their definition? Have you ever used the word “sick” or “badass” to describe something great or wonderful? Or how about the word “cool” to describe a delightful person? Cool...

What words can you guys think of that mean the opposite (or something nefarious) of how they’re currently being used? And if you're ready to have your paradigm rocked, check out Rand's definitions of "duty" and "consumerism." Expand your thinking. Much love to all.
