Dear Google, what does capitalism mean?
I got this by typing “define x” into Google, where “x” is a letter of the alphabet. I’m aware that the previous sentence can be read overly literally.
Anyway, so these are the people asking Google to define words for them. These are the concepts people are curious about, and want to better understand, and I think they’re definitely a product of this current era:
| agnostic | affect | austerity | |
| bigot | bourgeois | bias | bureaucracy |
| culture | capitalism | cognitive | cult |
| diversity | density | democracy | demographics |
| ethics | epiphany | element | ethos |
| federalism | fascism | family | figurative language |
| globalization | grace | gdp | government |
| hello | hipster | hypothesis | houston |
| irony | independent variable | integrity | i.e. |
| justice | juxtaposition | jaded | judicial review |
| karma | kosher | kinetic energy | keen |
| love | leadership | liberal | libertarian |
| mass | metaphor | mean | median |
| narcissistic | neurotic | niche | nominal |
| osmosis | oxymoron | ontology | objective |
| planking | pedantic | paradox | plot |
| qualitative | qi | que | quality |
| race | religion | respect | republic |
| swag | socialism | science | sociopath |
| thesis | tone | theory | trolling |

| volume | values | volatile | virtue |
| work | woot | wiki | won’t |

Items in bold are those that I find quite specifically relevant to a broader awakening of society to our charming new reality..
