George Orwell puts it best in an essay he wrote for The New Republic in 1946, lamenting the state of the English language: It is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it.

But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely.
