CANBACK think

My Legitimacy

What gives me the right to publish the kind of deep intellectual materials you find here? I asked ChatGPT and Gemini to summarize my credentials.


Why CANBACK think? The think term is drawn from George Orwellโ€™s Newspeak in 1984. Newspeak was aimed at dumbing down peopleโ€™s critical thinking, so itโ€™s ill chosen by me. Yet it has an aesthetic beauty with its mangled grammar that I wanted to capture.
