In politically correct #Orwell America, the missteps of relatives before your birth will cost you decades later in your own life. I wonder how many skeletons are in #EliLilly's closet.

#EliLilly has:
- Exploited prison labor
- Covered up teen suicides in early Prozac studies
- Jacked up the cost of insulin to boost their revenues
- Lilly pleaded guilty to illegal marketing of Zyprexa, which the FDA approved only for bipolar disorder & schizophrenia. They marketed the drug as a treatment for dementia and for pediatric uses. Lilly paid $2 billion to end the criminal investigation and settle several suits.

Fil linguistique. Si on dit langue et #totalitarisme, vous pensez à #Orwell et1984. Mais qu'est-ce qu'une #novlangue? Les régimes qu'on appelle totalitaires ont-ils vraiment manipulé la langue? Comment penser le rapport entre langue #idéologie et pensée? (Sources en fin de fil)
Dans ce fil, on va parle d'histoire (les rapports de certains régimes, comme le régime nazi) à la langue, de fiction (Orwell), de philo du langage (rapport langue-pensée). Par contre pour la notion de totalitarisme et sa complexité, je vous renvoie au livre de Traverso
La #novlangue d'Orwell se base se caractĂ©rise ainsi :1-appauvrissement du vocabulaire (moins de possibilitĂ© de dire des choses qu’avant) -univocitĂ© sĂ©mantique (le mot n'a qu'un seul sens) -DĂ©structuration radicale de la syntaxe (plus de diffĂ©rence entre verbe, nom, etc)
