#1 Hypocognition: A long-standing failure to understand a problem — to even see it as a problem. George Lakoff: “the words or language that need to exist to frame an idea in a way which can lead to persuasive communication is either non-existent or ineffective.”
Political correctness, however, is a form of "negative cognition" - framing ideas, persuading yourself or others, so that one's ability to know is continually decreased.

#6 There is a line in the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" I really like. The boarding house residents are sitting around the table and one of the men said, "The Government should do something". One of the ladies said, "They are only people". The man retorted, "People my foot! They're Democrats!".
