Just a reminder that Buck v Bell was never overturned. The government can forcibly sterilize people. Look it up. Shit is fucked up.

You seem confused as to what defines a term. The thing written in a dictionary comes from observing the real world. The real thing isn't constrained by some written words on a website, it's literally the other way around.

You seem to think if it's not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn't define a word. That's not how the real world works.

Yes, and take that a few steps further: does that need for profit ever end? Where does the idea of "constant growth" eventually inevitably lead?
