Net Zero is Newspeak

Sunday, September 18, 2022 9:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Suppose we suggest, as B.F. Skinner did, that science is a form of advice –

Follow this procedure and this is what you will see.
Apply this theory and these are the effects we expect to see.

Grossly oversimplified of course, but a powerful viewpoint just the same. Describing science as a form of advice links it to numerous other disciplines where traditional divisions obscure important similarities. From where to find a good plumber to a mathematical model to a soup recipe, a chemical analysis or an interpretation of Shakespeare, all may be viewed as forms of advice.

The power of linking disciplines via the common ground of advice is to distinguish useful advice from loaded advice where loaded advice is more demand than advice. A blurred distinction because teaching may include loaded advice, but a distinction worth making in this case.

Moving on – it is worth focussing on loaded and often covert advice about the use of social and political language –

Say this and you are a good person.
Say that and you are a bad person.

Again, this is grossly oversimplified but it makes a point that there are social and political demands concerning the politically correct use of language – as we know. Demands which are a close relative of Newspeak. Linking disparate disciplines by recasting them as advice brings out the distinction between advice and politically loaded advice about language. It brings out the Newspeak within our own culture.

Woke culture is a framework of partially covert demands concerning the politically correct use of language, not advice about the real world. When applied to the real world it fails in real world terms. We cannot use language to place demands on the real world. Should be obvious, but in the political world it often isn’t.

For example, the UK Net Zero policy is clearly not advice about the global climate. We in the UK cannot possibly affect that. Recasting Net Zero as advice brings out how absurd the advice is, because in the real world there is nothing we can do about the global climate whatever language we use. Net Zero is not advice about the behaviour of the global climate, but a framework of loaded advice about the use of climate and energy-related language.

Wind turbines and solar panels are the incidental products of this loaded political advice, where political power overrides real world competence. In other words, Net Zero is Newspeak. But we knew that.

And the chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grams.
