What if I told you ... fundamentalist had more than one meaning before ? And still has more than one meaning. That this is what makes English such a great language to do philosophy in. This narrative of singular definitions is like newspeak ... bleh I see it in French and Spanish speaking societies too. The new French will attack others for knowing more than one meaning of a word, using any amount of nuance or multiple definitions based on context. Dan White has written some definitive "never go full R word" posts before - i remember from my short foray into twitter

Thanks for the info!
A fundamentalist is someone who does what God would do if only He were as well informed.
