It shows how to use them toadvantage by looking to the reality that underlies the words that are used, andby noticing the way they are used: wordshave a real meaning that is opposite to their intended meanings.<spanstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'> We reflect on this in the words we use.A mainstream warning issupported, namely that our civilization is in fact endangered.<spanstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'> False communications threaten us, especiallyin our ever increasing power over the world, through science.<spanstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'> Radiative and chemical emissions harmus.
