I understand that scientific articles are for publication but what about this article I did not know that these could be published.   :horse:

This is from some random conference in Nepal. IEEE publishes anything that was accepted for the conference, and it is likely there were not a lot of applicants for a conference in Nepal, so a literal hobby project got accepted.

There is also a good chance that the whole conference got organized to farm published articles.

And looking at other entries from the same conference, there are a lot of Android applications. So, it does not look like a high level conference.

And this is straight up offensive https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10134326 (Two Way Communicator between Blind-Deaf-Dumb Person and Normal People). Intro starts like this

Blindness, deafuess, and dumbness are ranked first among all disabilities. More than 25 to 30 million people in the world are blind, deaf, and dumb.

It was organized by a local university, not one of the commercial "publication mill" organizations. I just scanned the list of presentation titles, and most of them sound a bit more substantial. But it obviously was a local event, not a meeting of global top-notch scientists.

You do realize that "dumb" means "mute" here? Still, contrasting handicapped with "normal" is not politically correct wording in this part of the world -- but may be quite acceptable elsewhere, e.g. in India where the authors reside.

The authors of that paper are from India, whose dialect of English often retains really archaic vocabulary and usage. The word “dumb” didn’t gain the meaning of “stupid” until the 19th century, and didn’t lose the meaning of “mute” until later still.

Like many words now considered insulting, it may have started as a euphemism that then displaced its original meaning (like “retarded”, which was originally a medical term meaning simply “lagging behind”).

So I definitely would not assume offensiveness from the authors in this case.

Outside of India, apparently now even “mute” is frowned upon, so doctors say “speech-impaired” now.

The PC trend is not about "correctness".  It's Bolshevism 2.0, this time taking over the western world.

I'm not sure if the westerners are realizing what it is happening.  The movement is in full swing.  Here, in the eastern Europe we've experienced similar tactics during the communism.  It won't just fade out of fashion, and it will never stop by itself once everybody complies.  Will keep stripping your rights, and will keep becoming more and more oppressive.

Forbidding words is only the beginning.  Won't be long until people will start denouncing each other, just like during the Stalin regime, when people went to torture then sent to die in gulag camps, for imaginary accusations.

The west think this can only happen somewhere far away.  It is happening in the west already.  People got fired from their jobs for not being PC enough.  Some might want to take a peek at how it all went last time.

It's a very long book, full of abused people, and torture, and suffering.  All in the name of a greater good, and starting from imaginary offenses.  Many will notice uncanny similarities between the chain of events back then, and our world today.  Same steps lead to same outcome, and last time the outcome was bad.  Don't let that happen again.

Can we please not get this thread closed by going straight into politics, which is a prohibited topic on here?
