Thanks BB.

So, we jointly construct the following:

>of Newspeak are the good news!

And I just don't know how to respond in this late hour except to ask in
return, "How can you fully understand a system that you are not part of? "
and upon asking so, I comprehend that this is the response expected.

And from Vico down to contemporary cognitive science we get the thought
that to really understand something it helps a lot if you can make it,
or participate in its creation and use.

Maybe critical activity striving to grow next generations would be a worthwhile
form of inquiry?
