Line 5: Line 5:  
Powerful, insightful new conservative terms have grown at a [[geometric progression|geometric rate]], roughly doubling every century.  For every insightful new conservative term originating in the 1600s, there are two new terms originating in the 1700s, four new terms in the 1800s, and eight new terms in the 1900s, for a pattern of "1-2-4-8".  Implications of a geometric increase for new conservative terms include a more conservative future and a correlation between conservatism and truth.  The year 1612 is our starting point: the King James Version of the Bible had just been published in 1611, and [[William Shakespeare]] had written virtually all of his plays.

The rate of generation of liberal terms is increasing, but not with the enduring value of the conservative terms and not with their geometric rate of increase.  A remarkably high percentage of new liberal terms originated in the 1960s, suggesting that new liberal terms arise in a sporadic manner heavily influenced by culture:
