Interesting talk (3 minutes) on hyperbole and how it’s become normal.

So things are tragic instead of sad and instead of a bit of a breeze, we have a frankenstorm coming our way.

I obviously blame social media.

Actually I have seen that video some weeks previously, and it is still fine.

Media is one thing advertuising another I blame.
Plus as they said: emotionla reaction is bigger with big words, since "Das Bewusstsein bestimmt das Sein" (Hegel).
