Proving for the umpteen millionth time that there is no such thing as "peak woke," a passel of geniuses (genii?) over at Stanford University (where $78,898 will buy you the privilege of a year’s worth of indoctrination) in the epicenter of all things leftism (aka California's Bay Area) have helpfully offered us a new
Peter, you are a veritable polymath! The engineer in me plans to teach my grandson to be precise in use of language, avoiding pronouns. Your use of “echo chamber” reminds me of the contest to write the first line of a novel. My fav: “As a scientist, Throckmorton knew if he broke wind in the echo chamber he would never hear the end of it”.
“The inclusion of "submit" in Stanford's list could be considered a Kinsley Gaffe, an unintentional revelation of truth and hidden motive. It suggests there are two types of woke in our world: the true believers, who only manage to come up with this nonsense because they are surrounded by their own, in a cocooned and cotton-balled echo chamber; and the power-seekers who exploit the true believers' successes for their own cynical ends.“
If it gives you any comfort, while they've eliminated words from the language, they've also taken steps to ensure the remaining words are devoid of universal meaning. It won't be long before a blank sheet of paper qualifies as a Stanford thesis - and to declare otherwise is "literally" violence.
This is insanity. I searched the list and did not find that term so I assume it's approved for use. By the way, I submitted my voting ballot from the last election. Should I ask for it back since that was improper of me to do so?

Don't surrender the pronouns!

"Insane" *is* on the list. We can presume variants thereof are also vetitum.
