In Episode 63 of the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast, I am joined by Doc Brown of the Wandering Humanist. Join us as we delve into historical linguistics, the evolution of taboo terms, and cultural interactions . We explore the changing meanings of words, the concept of taboo deformations, and how languages change over time in linguistics. The episode also covers the history and struggles of the Sami people and their interaction with and cultural sharing with Norse cultures. Shifting gears, we discuss the chaotic Chaz/Chop zone in Seattle, examining the cultural dynamics and Do Brown's experience going there. This episode offers a comprehensive look at linguistic, anthropological, and cultural histories intertwined with modern societal events.
