I was reading a post in my main train board in the middle of a thread speculating on the electrification of major American railroads when it dawned on me there is a new magic word for the 2110's:

"Confirmed."

It endows the user to conjure up facts, figures and divine authority only those whose will has been suborned by the most prejudiced and false education want to refute.

In this case, it was the idea of climate change is a hoax perpetrated by a "confirmed" mentally ill ex-vice president who is pocketing millions. I seem to have missed this, but what do you expect?

For another example of our blazing word in action (or "inaction"?): Evolution---"confirmed" a speculative and contradiction-laced theory.

Lots of confirming going on if you read much.

"Confirmation": the sacrament for our age of selecting your own facts!
