How many months do we still have to save the world from verbal catastrophe?

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Ass (see:Idiocracy-the movie)
Very funny. LMAO as they say on the internet.
But the data are a very good fit for the line, aren’t they.
I’d like to see the stats on ‘appropriate’. It’s getting so you can find precious little anywhere that is appropriate any more.
I bet the warmists and other eco-loons are really ‘phased’ by the log scale.
Best regards
Indeed, Nigel. Though I’m not sure a log scale is appropriate for percentages (sorry, Jason)
Sustainability is only the latest fad term whose true meaning is “It’s only ok as long as we allow you to do it.”
It is part of a cultural transition from the idea that all is permitted except that which is explicitly prohibited, to the post-modern ethic of all is forbidden except that which may be permitted.
As I have said so many times to so many people—What in the hell do you think all these restrictions are all about?
It’s about control and, even more, who has it.
That was a classic xkcd.
I used to work in engineering research in Portugal and as the only native English speaker always got asked to write the bosses EU research grant proposals. This word was used alot. Generally speaking the ideas were worth researching but you had to encase them in the mindless shite that is EU greenspeak
