There are many new buzzwords that I’ve read in the public discourse over the past—say, five years or so—which have become topics for discussion, debate, and analysis. By public discourse I mean didactic and interpretive writings in the internet and social media typically published by opinion writers, “thought leaders” (new term itself!), journalists, and the intellectual crowd. And before proceeding, from here on out in this post I will place quotation marks around words that feel to me have surfaced pre-pandemic or earlier, and are now accepted them into our usage.
Sadly, much of social media, news content, and choice of words smell of “chatter” and “noise” because the underlying demand for “clicks” smacks of the longing for quick individual notoriety, fame, and fortune. Let’s call this thing—individual clicks for quick attention—”qulicks”.
