It seems to have some resonance with Angus and his thoughts on language, as if Angus is familiar with Korzybski.

"How "much" out-of-date is Korzybski?"

"While Korzybski described the growth of knowledge as following an exponential curve, no general semanticist has ever, to my knowledge, attempted to quantify that growth rate. There is, and has been, such a measure that is closely related to the growth of knowledge itself, and that is growth in the capacity to handle knowledge.  This measure, from the computing industry, is known as Moore's law.

In 1965 Gordon E. Moore, who co-founded Intel, noticed that each new computer chip contained roughly twice the capacity of its predecessor. Computing power seemed to be doubling approximately every two years.

This relationship or prediction is now known as Moore's Law. It has held true for over three decades. If anything, the rate of increased computing power is accelerating so that computing power is now doubling each year. **

"The Sapir-Whorf-Korzybski Hypothesis Confusing the strong and weak views Comment by Jim Walker"

"The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (the 'Korzybski' annexation came later) claims that the structure of a language defines the way a person behaves and thinks, must surely have it wrong according to many cognitive scientists, including Noam Chomsky, Steven Pinker, and others. Although the basic hypothesis of linguistic determinism surely has flaws, one should not overly criticize the first people who began thinking about this interesting subject. After all the subject refers to a hypothesis, not a theory, and certainly not fact (yet)."

"Critical Reception"

"Despite what many called an arrogant manner, Korzybski had the ability to inspire intellectual enthusiasm among numerous followers, who staunchly defended him and helped promote his theories. Detractors contended that the size and density of Science and Sanity were proof of the failure of Korzybski's theories about concision of language. The use of his principles in such varied fields as marital counseling, film-making, and horticulture led some critics to doubt the worth of much of his work. Korzybski's ideas continue to generate debate through the publication ETC"
