Jargon: the New Language of Domination - Part 1
“It is not impossible that it should fall to the lot of this work, in its poverty and in the darkness of this time, to bring light into one brain or another - but, of course, it is not likely.”
(Wittgenstein)
We live in a "prison-world" of our own design: a permanent, universally acceptable, wholly inclusive, gender-neutral, politically-correct discursive delirium. A prison-world, in which language has been “hollowed out”.
Today, what we have instead of language is Jargon: a chronic intellectual "twerk", a "safe iterative space" that dominates/decimates/domesticates all substantial emotional and intellectual life and informs the structure of our cultural, political and economic Verfall.
Jargon is a pure product of the Left. It is the bastard child of Critical Theory gone wrong and epistemological vegan brain farts; it is an Anti-Aufklärung, in the sense that it obscures everything, from the clearest, simplest, most fundamental principles of thought and aspects of our life on this earth to the most superficial.
Our enthusiastic and edgy post-structuralist approval of Jargon - in daily doses of ready-made enlightenment and warm intellectual chicken bouillon - simply means that the world, in this era informed by trendy social-constructivism, cannot make sense to us. And that is the whole point of Liberal Jargon, a distributed denial of attack on objective truth by recourse to the subject.
Jargon thrives on university campuses, claims victory at the highest echelons of billion dollar companies.
Today, we are faced with a world we cannot understand as the most fundamental problems are not acknowledged as problems and conceptualized as such; we cannot understand this world as we struggle with truths that can be immediately countered with different truths proving Ad Absurdum the relativistic Contingency of Truth.
In the end, Jargon, a constant relief from the burden of thought, will remain standing on a world of ruins, triumphant, invincible. A permanent Theodicee of Subjectivity, it is the ultimate nihilistic selfie: it is autotelic to the point that it negates the idea of truth even when - a metaphysical microagressive cheerleader - it gesticulates and puts truth on a pedestal.
Every time language gleefully deviates from our shared fact-world which substantiates speech acts (forms), it is Jargon.
Jargon is higher-level and autotelic meaning it comfortably builds on itself and proliferates wildly in the absence of denotata, the evanescent and perhaps disappearing figure of the possibility of a retroversion towards an horizon of intersubjective, and therefore objective, confirmation. When these unsubstantiated speech acts as aethereal forms meet the hazy, chinstroking ethics of the Left, we have a marriage made in heaven.

This is a book for our times.
It draws on the findings of my work on Critical Phenomenology and Linguistics, to relate how the Left has altered and warped Reality, through Jargon, a subversive transactional language.

Thank you for reading. Part 2 of this book will follow shortly.
