If you, like me, simply cannot fathom waiting until winter 2020—again, as if the season where everything dies off and the sun goes away isn’t brutal enough—you’re in luck: Weiss waxed on and on about her take on George Carlin’s seven words during a talk in July. As The Chautauquan Daily reported:

So while Carlin’s “7 Dirty Words” have lost their luster and invaded the mainstream, Weiss proposed a new set: the I-word, H-word, the other P-word, E-word, J-word, R-word and D-word.

Imagination, humility, proportion, empathy, judgment, reason and doubt.

These words, while they may seem “square,” pose a threat to society. The threat, Weiss said, is a response to President Donald Trump, who exemplifies callousness like no one else.

What follows is Weiss evoking Abraham Lincoln “as a powerful rebuke of identity politics,” arguing that the way the internet responds to things it finds offensive—like, perhaps, her awful columns—“is a moral menace,” and something about how smug liberals don’t give themselves over to “doubt” often enough.

The only remaining question is: What staggering sum did Weiss’ publisher offer as an advance on this no doubt provocative project? If you know, I’d love to hear from you.
