  3. 📜 Turns out legal documents are just fancy magic spells! MIT study reveals lawyers (and everyone else) use unnecessarily complex language to flex their authority. They even embed clauses within clauses like linguistic Russian dolls.

    It is hard to deny that the #UnitedStates is a #Christiannation despite the #FirstAmendment’s promise that the legislature will not establish a #religion. The United States is not a Christian nation merely because of the #religious #beliefs that many people privately hold.
