Fuzz Greene: Legal stunts. Herewith, forthwith, pertaining to but not inclusive of. This is how people control us, isn't it? make it all so mysterious, the rest of us don't understand.
Cleaver Greene: Yes. It's why law and religion were in Latin for centuries, but then they realized they could make English just as incomprehensible as a dead language.
Fuzz Greene: So, if I understand you correctly, you make a living strangling words so a jury doesn't know which way is up.
Cleaver Greene: Yeah. We also get to wear wigs.
“Cleaver Greene: Let’s cut to the chase, Lawrence. What the hell possessed you to bust into this forum?
Lawrence Fenton: What these so-called important people are doing with words. The way they use language to actually hide what they mean. It’s a form of corruption. The writer, Don Watson, calls them ‘weasel words’, where corporations and governments complicate what they say so much that there is no longer any accountability or integrity. And once we stop believing in what is being said, once language loses its power to connect us, civilization is finished.”

Bayliss: So are you going to interrogate him? Pembleton: Interrogate him? Bayliss: Yeah, yeah. I’m just saying. You know, not a partner thing but when you interrogate him I’d like to sit in. Pembleton: Then what you will be privileged to witness will not be an interrogation, but an act of salesmanship. As silver-tongued and thieving as ever moved used cars, Florida swamp land, or Bibles. But what I am selling is a long prison term to a client who has no genuine use for the product. {he heads for the box} Bayliss: I guess that’s a yes.
Georgia high school teacher Donelan Andrews won a $10,000 reward after she closely read the terms and conditions that came with a travel insurance policy she purchased for a trip to England. Squaremouth, a Florida insurance company, had inserted language promising a reward to the first person who emailed the company.
TIL a software company buried a $1,000 prize deep in its Terms of Service to see if anyone actually read them. After 5 months and over 3,000 sales, someone finally asked about the prize

Have you ever heard something only you understood...like a different wave length almost...
GullyFoyle: "Have you ever heard something only you understood...like a different wave length almost..." I term it Subjective relationship with existence.
The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing methodological crisis in which the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method, such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially call into question substantial parts of scientific knowledge
"Get a marketing firm to make you famous... Now everyone believes and quotes you."
do you live before 2000? Now you hire a single person with a whole bunch of phones to push your popularity. Phone farms are used in everything from politics to music.

I gave general computer training at a marketing company, employing people with the gift of the gab... Lots of phoning overseas 24/7, in 2008.
I agree with spikkels, they churn out whatever in terms and conditions, banks and online terms and conditions are the worst offenders. Who sits around with barristers interpretation of the otherwise meaningless crap that they churn out without your prior consent I dunno. However all the judges in christian countries at least lie there teeth out with equally meaningless bla bla. You only have to look closely at the Toyota e.g. Maddens Lawyers lodged the class action in Victoria's Supreme Court, claiming up to 500,000 vehicles could be involved and a settlement, if the case is proven, could reach $1 billion. The dispute is centred around “diesel defeat devices”, with Maddens Lawyers alleging Toyota changed vehicles' emissions control systems.
forward: Toyota Australia says it will “rigorously” defend a fresh class action lawsuit brought upon the company in the Supreme Court of Victoria today by a law firm representing owners and drivers of diesel-powered Toyota vehicles.
Toyota avoided a fine following a separate investigation into the DPF issue by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), but promised to review its systems and customer complaint handling procedures.

Hi Rob Yes, imagine writing anything out of the ballpark, aimed to confuse and injure, disguising it in many fancy words, so no-one can understand anyway, adding it to some valid agreement, on the internet, where no-one reads anything, except social media, and you are sunk...totally... Then you call in the legal team, costing you billions, and still losing... Who is winning all the way to the bank, always, here...?
