"Dual meanings - a common, ordinary, and reasonable meaning, and a specific activist meaning"

# data[].attributes.body
If words have double meanings, confusion as to which meaning is being used is likely to arise among foreign language speakers,a nd even individuals who speak English.

Many meanings of words are lost due to the mass confusion caused by these dual meanings of common words creayted by woke speakers.

An example used in this article is the word, "inclusion". Its common meaning is, "all people are welcome", but woke language brought the dual meaning of, "a space the restricts space".

These meanings are extremely different, and could easily lead to confusion among english speakers and other foreign language speakers.

This particular quote and concept relates hugely to justification. The reason I say this is becaused with dual meanings and all the issues that arise with it, it makes it extremely difficult to justify what you are saying.

Typically you don't need to justify simple words such as "inclusion", but with woke speakers it is neccessary to do so because of their new double meaning.

"In India, the cow is sacred. For the average American, it’s likely a burger"

A claim that I made from this quote is that words used worldwide have many meanings depending on who is using it.

This means that particular words can be translated, but our thoughts and perception of the word cannot be translated through languages.

My example for this is within the quote previously listed which is how a cow is sacred and virtued in an area such as India, but in the USA it is nothing more than a burger.

This example is not woke language as the word has a singular meaning, it is just perceived differently by different people.

In class we have discussed perception, and perception plays a big part in this particular example. Perception is affected by factors such as culture, family, knowledge, language, etc.

"Activists are wannabe wizards who try to use discourse engineering to remake society in their own image"

# data[].attributes.body
The "woke-ish" people are attempting to make the language their own. This motive fails and loses its power when it comes to other languages because many of the second meanings they've given words get lost through the translation of the languages.

"The wokerati think of it as a type of word magic and believe they can force change by controlling the meanings of words."

This quote displays another way of viewing the original quote, but still brings across the same point.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote particularly relates to the work we did on belief, opinion, and fact. The woke people believe so strongly that their opinions on the language, and they strongly believe that these changes should be made/make their changes facts.

No matter how hard the woke people push their language, there will be people, even amongst English speakers, that do not recognize it, understand it, or completely ignore it.

Many also do not know the meanings of these woke words, and they do not even realize that there is a "double meaning" to that word.

With this thought, I can make a personal connection, as I did not realize what woke language truly was before researching it.

I was one of the people who didn't know about woke language and how it exists.

This piece could relate to the system one and two thinking in a way. The people who refuse to understand the woke language are in a system one, but also the people making the woke language want to make it their own are also in a system one mindset

I think that woke language involves a lot of system one thinking in unexpected areas.

"activists cannot readily achieve their agenda of deconstruction"

There is a small exception that lets woke language escape to other languages. It occurs when a language lacks a word, and needs something to fill it.

In Hungary there isn't a specific word for gender, so theyuse the English word. This allows woke language to slip through into the new language, but even then it would be difficult to bring in the woke meaning as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowledge, a concept we covered in class, fits this thought because the knowledge of the woke meaning of the word is not guarenteed to go with the original word into the new language.

This means that even though some english words make it to other languages, the woke meaning may not become knowledge among the language speakers.
