Inventing new words is one of the most rebellious things you can do. We
all live under a set of prescribed social assumptions, which are
embedded into our words. If you want to think outside your social
conditioning, you will need a new word to do it.
Every word is a
suitcase, into which we pack an idea, and then hand it to someone else.
No suitcase: no handoff. Our society is changing, fast, and we need new
words to describe it.
