Creationism in everyday language bugs me. "Entity A made N dollars" or "… generated N kilowatts" when 'extracted' states what actually happened, and maybe promotes a clearer mindset?

Just finished "Decelerate Blue" written by Adam Rapp and illustrated by Mike Cavallaro. It's a dystopian graphic novel that I found... not that great. Maybe the best thing about it was the world-building around the propaganda language everyone is forced to speak, but overall I found the plot construction and characters to be underwhelming.
Despite being a book about resistance to fascist oppression, it doesn't meaningfully engage with any major axes of oppression like patriarchy, racism, capitalism, or colonialism, and it doesn't offer an interesting lessons on how to conduct resistance or what long-term outcomes one might hope for.
First graphic novel I've checked out in a while that I didn't really like that much.

so you have a function

which, when evaluated, throws up a window showing in a sensible form the value of `o`.
Obviously, though, if `o` is lazy, you don't want the inspector to explore it all.
LazySeq implements an interface IPending, which isn't documented. Are all lazy …

One way to spend time instead of #doomscrolling has recentlt been #codewars
Bitesized problems of different difficulties for almost any language.
Not as big as #adventofcode
I am slowly but surely enjoying Reiner Keller's "Sociology of knowledge approach to discourse". I highly appreciate the level of care towards what is identified/extracted and taken for real. However, as with any other sociological framework, the position of the analyst remains problematic.
Even if one masters the analytical practice, communicating it remains problematic, as language must be used to do so. Traditionally, sociologists attempt to find a new form of language, which often becomes increasingly abstract and incomprehensible.
I wonder what the alternative would be: expressing analytical insights in every possible language or discursive logic (which is practically impossible), or at least in those connected to the analysis. Language translation or 'elif' could be examples of this. However, I also consider 'speaking in your terms' when communicating with individuals from different backgrounds.
