Note re The series of “What is…. ?! essays
Originally the thirteen What is….?!” series of essays were stored at https://medium.com/@davemcarthur
Each essay discusses the unique universe (s) that we can experience in a word or phrase. However the essays are all linked by a common psychology~physics and use of etymology. All discuss and employ the principles of energy as their prime means of evaluating how sustainable the meaning of the word or phrase has been over millennia i.e. what sort of universe the word or phrase use generates.

Blah Blah Blah v Civics COP26
28th September 2021. Greta Thunberg, a young citizen of Sweden, delivers a speech during the opening plenary session of the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, Italy.

Greta’s “blah, blah, blah” speech reverberates around planet Earth and resonates in profound ways in many people. Deep in our guts we knows the truth she speaks. In my instance, it supports my growing belief this past two decades that the prevalence of “Energy Gobbledy-gook” is a recipe for dystopia, an existential threat to Mankind’s existence.
