1) The 21st century illiterate, according to Alvin Toffler

A famous quote by Alvin Toffler is "the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn". For me, this phrase was always at least strange, because "unlearning" is like "unexperience"; at least if we talk about the mental trajectory of people with some cerebral decency, which, instead of subtracting, adds up truths, knowledge and skills. It's strange that someone who seems unaware of the very concept of learning writes a book titled "Future Shock" wanting to be taken seriously, and even stranger that the author succeeds.

2) Notes on human language

Ironically, Alvin Toffler's illiterate exists in the 21st century: he is what was known as an intelligent and unfashionable person in the 20th century. The non-illiterates of the 21st century, who know how to unlearn, are our university students and professors, our politicians, our command posts in the Public Administration and private companies, our journalists, etc. Brazilian readers will remember Brazil, which among the 10 largest GDPs in the world for over 30 years, stays among the worst results for 1st and 2nd degrees in international assessments, is practically out of the list of the 250 best universities in the world, has no Nobel Prize and has almost no one person or company of international relevance. But the case of the "coronavirus" shows that Brazil was not the only country in America with such a low intellectual level; by the way, it shows that the First World did not have as much intelligence as we imagined. For starters, "coronavirus" is a misnomer. I'll explain why and then we get to the point.

Or rather, let's start getting into the point from what human language is. In general terms, human language is a set of signs (such as words, sounds or gestures) that separately represent elements of the real world or link other signs. It is not enough for signs to exist, language also needs to associate itself with the real world. Hence, written and oral language also have, in addition to the meanings of signs, the rules for associating signs. Well, considering the known real world, written or oral human language can also describe a real world object that does not yet exist (an advertising material for a public work that has not yet started is an example of this) or a fiction (for example, for those who read a novel that took place in a fictional place, the name of this place refers to something that can even be compared to real places).

3) The new coronavirus in human language

Now I come back to the term "coronavirus". For starters, "coronavirus" is not a virus[2]:

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses common to many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats and bats. Rarely, coronaviruses that infect animals can infect people, such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. Recently, in December 2019, there was the transmission of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which was identified in Wuhan, China, and caused COVID-19, which was then spread and transmitted person-to-person.

Thus, "new coronavirus" is still a descriptive term, but using the term "THE coronavirus" denounces that the person has no notion of what is saying. Or rather, it shows that the person is not saying anything nor understands what reads or hears about SARS-CoV-2, or "new coronavirus". Worse: this person thinks it's a trifle what I said a moment ago, about using correct terms to at least seem like to refer something in the real world. Anyone who thinks this is ignorant of human language, in what I approached and in other points that I will explain right now.

4) More notes on the human language and the new coronavirus

The use of the human language has a sender, a recipient, a message and a channel. And the message in spoken or written language uses signs of the language used (the language) to refer to an object that can be from the language itself, from another language (for example, a word in a translation into another language) or external to the languages (often from the physical world).

I've explained some things about human language heretofore, and I'll explain others later, within the oral language and the written language, but all of this is also true for the visual arts, such as drawings, paintings, sculptures, puppets and photographs. In these visual arts, we don't exactly have a dictionary of signs and meanings, but they can convey a message at least within the local culture.

In what I said about the "new coronavirus", I didn't get into the questions of what CoViD-19 disease is, of what's the difference between CoViD-19 and common flu or common pneumonia, of how the panic wave of the so-called pandemic is made, of what's the political interest in the so-called pandemic, and of why the virus has deservedly earned the nickname "Chinese virus". I will not go into these aspects here so as not to confuse readers and not get too far off point.

Alvin Toffler's illiterate did not unlearn that "quarantine" is to isolate the sick from people without the disease; nor that facial masks are used for people with respiratory diseases not to transmit the disease to other people. The case of facial masks is not one of signs, but it is an example of the consequence of the disconnection between language and the real world. When a person's words lose connection with the real world, firstly the words may even lose connection with themselves. It is no more uncommon and it's increasingly common a journalistic article that proves in one paragraph the opposite of what it said in another. Afterwards, what is lost is the very idea of connection between connected objects in the real world. For example, social confinement (not "quarantine"), closing shops and wearing masks have not slowed down at all the advance of such "the coronavirus" and hardly anyone noticed, and even more, many people have passed 3, 4, 5 months in the social isolation of their homes waiting for the "peak of the pandemic" in the following month, of a disease whose incubation period is up to 14 days. In another example, this so-called pandemic is observable for more political and police atrocities, bankrupt companies, unemployed people, and delayed services (including medical care for other illnesses) than cases of the disease in question, and almost everyone still treats this as a real pandemic. The disease of this deadly pandemic, by the way, has a 5% mortality rate. But no one sees anything wrong with that if is not an Alvin Toffler's illiterate.

5) More notes on the human language

The issue here is not whether the general public has wrong readings or gets informed by the wrong news, it's the disconnection between language and reality for the majority of the population. Now I will use an example outside the CoViD-19 case: there is the word "Nazism", there was a sociopolitical system in the real world to which this sign was associated, there is the definition of Nazism (the definition is not the object, it's the intermediation between the object and the sign), there are written informations beyond the definition that clarify what Nazism was; but most of the use of the word "Nazism" today has nothing to do with real-world elements or even with the definition. If we tell someone who makes this use of that word that Nazism ended in the 1940s when Adolf Hitler lost a war and committed suicide with his wife, that will sound strange, to say the least.

Another example: "hate crime" or "hate speech". "To hate" is a transitive verb, therefore a verb that requires a complement, an object. The same applies to the noun "hate". But whoever speaks of "hate crime" or "hate speech" does not say what this object is and seems to think that such a question does not even exist. One more example: the same people will say that there is no racism against whites as a concept, even if the word "racism" means discrimination of an ethnic group (ah, there is also racism in favor). These two examples are neither a distraction nor a presupposition of a general consensus (or at least a consensus among progressives), they are examples of a speech so disconnected from reality that it has a disconnection within the language itself.

6) Notes on those who should make money from the knowledge of the human language

And another practical example of the unlearning of the human language is what happens with the advertising sector in Brazil, which has reached the point of having the government (in the three spheres) as its main client in the Workers' Party government. This also affected journalism, because periodicals were supported by advertisements. But in advertising and journalism, I return to that review of the elements of language. Who was the recipient? What was the message? What if the advertising message is addressed to the wrong recipient? For example, a campaign against "violence against women" made towards the honorable men. What if the message reachs the right recipient but doesn't have the intended effect? For example, a biased news report against or in favor of a person or a group. You see, these are not lies. A lie only has content contrary to a specific truth, but it is a correct use of human language (correct in the functional sense). These also are not manipulations. Manipulation is also a correct use of human language, both verbal and non-verbal (correct in the functional sense). Nor do they do that, the advertising sector and the journalism have reduced themselves, at least since the time of "Petrolão" ("Big Oil"), to a channel without recipients used to divert public money; beyond it, they don't know how to talk. They don't know how to increase the sale of a product, they don't know how to convince someone of an idea, they don't know how to convince someone to do or not do something. Worse than that: as a consequence of this loss of mastery of human language and this loss of integration with reality, they often don't even perceive it. They also don't perceive that even when they speak in unison, they have (together) a derisory readership and a even lower credibility for someone who should be being heard by the entire population.

7) The bases of "panicdemic"

All this did not come in the coup of the Chinese virus, not even with the left-wing in formal political power. But here we have again the lesson that History does not make leaps. A conservative can paint an almost paradisiacal portrait of his own country 60, 80 years ago. But this is not History, even less memory, since the epoch is when their parents or grandparents were born. Then we return to the subject of language, of the link between language and the real world: when language loses its link with the real world, there may be nostalgic legend, but no History. But there, and also in the data that History does not make leaps, a leftist can also observe that a left-wing's action can be in the direction at preserving an error it claims to combat. For example, in the case of Feminism, conservatives are unaware that the First Wave was conservative and progressives do not believe that combatting prostitution equals them with conservatives in the beginning of the 20th century.

I wrote in 2016 about the mess conservatives make of pedophilia with sex with teenagers, and the problems which it will bring for everyone[3]. Almost a month ago, I discovered a 2011 article in the journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law on why ebephilia should not be included in the concept of pedophilia[4]. Ebephilia is the attraction for teenagers in the beginning of the adolescence (up to circa 14 years old). There is also ephebophilia, which is the attraction to teenagers from mid to late adolescence. But if ephebophilia is not within the concept of pedophilia, it's within the concept of MAP, "minor-attracted person". Here we have another example of confusing language. Minor is a legal-police concept, so we have a legal-police concept introduced in Medical Sciences. And more than that, we have people who say that "MAP" should have a death penalty, so we have a Medical Sciences case introduced into Criminal Law, if we assume that the term is really a matter of paraphilia from the start. For these people, being attracted to a 14-year-old girl is the same that raping a child. Because their language shows a view of the real world that is confusing.

There was also a time when the persons had to unlearn that morals have nothing to do with lack of sex in order to relearn that sex is unspeakable and that the populaces who have no horror of female nudity are cursed populaces. But this was such a consolidated relearning and it happened so long ago that the descendants of these persons do not think it's human to think differently.

I will tell you a case that happened to me when I was 14 years old. I was with my dad and one of my brothers in a diner, and a 22 year old boy was looking at me (I know his age because he fucked me a few weeks later and he told me). I never wore provocative clothes on the street, I was wearing a long dress, but my breasts already had a good volume. I signaled to the boy that I noticed he was looking at me, but that he could be calm, and I walked over to him. I started talking to him: "Hi. Did you like to see it?". Almost at the same time when my father and brother noticed that the boy was looking at me, and they didn't like it. And when I tried to calm the three, I said to the boy: "If you can't talk to me about sex, how can you fuck me?" The three were startled, and so was the woman who was in attendance at the counter. The woman at the counter looked at me with that face like "go away soon because here's not a bitch place", but my father and my brother didn't know what to say. The question had an obviousness, but saying it seemed preposterous. But I and that boy talked a little, then my father and my brother talked a little with him too. I tell this case to illustrate how something that an entire community has learned for granted may not even have internal coherence.

Folks, I tried to make a short text, but I gave up. One problem with writing a text for the Alvin Toffler's non-illiterate, or one that can be found by him, is needing to re-explain what he has unlearned so that he can relearn what he once knew and un-knew. I gave a quick review about human language! And a reader with a college degree may have never seen this before and may not understand.
