How large language models like ChatGPT reflect Saussure’s century-old theory of structuralism where meaning emerges from relations.
wmosshammer.medium.com
Structuralism argues words have meaning only through relations within language.

🚨 The government is banning words.
Not hypothetically. Not in Orwell’s 1984. Right now, in federal agencies.

The Pentagon now demands reporters sign a pledge giving officials final say over what gets published — even if it’s unclassified.
This isn’t oversight. It’s censorship.

Kick out a president without setting anything on fire.
Turns out, nonviolence works — better than bullets. Harvard data backs it up.
Protest smart. Call in sick. Collapse regimes.

California is turning canals into clean power plants.
The state’s first canal-mounted solar panels just went live — generating electricity and saving water.
A win-win!
