aequalsa Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm usually behind on this sort of thing, but on the off chance that someone is even more behind than I, I decided to post this for you to check out Fortunately, "Objectivism" has been doing much better since the 1860's.. http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=objectivism&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3 Capitalism seemed to recover from its low dip in the 60s but has now, once again nearly dropped off of the intellectual radar. http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=capitalsim&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3 Not only did the 60's fill the world with hedonists, it also filled the world with potty mouths. http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=shit&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3 Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
