Words on the Move — Why Language Is Always Changing

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world. This episode explores Words on the Move by John McWhorter as a systems-level examination of how language evolves through decentralized interaction rather than centralized rules. Rather than treating linguistic change as decline, the book reveals how words shift meaning through everyday communication. By examining mechanisms such as “meaning creep” and conversational markers, the episode shows how language adapts continuously to human cognition and social interaction. By tracing design → incentives → outcomes → persistence → interconnection, this analysis reveals language as a living communication system shaped by millions of speakers rather than formal authorities. 🎬 Watch the Mini Explainer: 👉    • Words on the Move — Why Words Like “Litera...   🎧 Spotify: 👉 https://open.spotify.com/episode/6i9y... 🎉 Apple Podcasts: 👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ❤️ Support on Patreon: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/words-o...
