The Euphemism Treadmill: Why Woke Ain't Woke Enough

https://buymeacoffee.com/linguoisdead A discussion of the Linguistics Concept of the Euphemism Treadmill, a term coined by Steven Pinker in his 1994 book The Blank Slate and earlier described as the Euphemism Cycle by Sharon Henderson Taylor in her publication "Terms for Low Intelligence". I'm interested in how this phenomenon leads to the continual creation of new terminology to rectify language associated with unfair bias. This is not a political video, but rather one focused on the linguistics and how language plays a role in our perception of other people and our self-identity.
