summary - Annick de Witt takes the reader on a journey of discovery of that looks at the nuances of the complex set of entangled crisis we face today, by referring to the idea of worldviews - She shows how the quagmires now emerging are the result of interplay between three major worldviews, traditional, modern and post-modern and how each represents a partial truth that denies the partial truths held by the others - The article takes the example of Trumpism and the MAGA movement to illustrate, but the same analysis could be extended to the many different cultural worldviews found in different peoples around the globe - In particular, with Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, tensions between the traditional Islamic culture and the West's traditional, modern and post-modern segments of society are again on the rise - The insightful analysis culminates in the proposal for an integral worldview that includes all three but transcends each one - It may be useful to introduce Annick to Greg Henrique's Unified Theory of Knowledge (UToK), - https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ - Gregg works with John Vervaeke that Annick has cited - Regarding Bayo Akomolafe's short LinkedIn note on the word "worldview", I respect both Annick's detailed analysis as well as Bayo's interpretation and look forward to a comparative analylsis of these two perspectives around the word "worldview" - I am also in the middle of annotating Lisa E. Maroski's book, Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language, which is salient here as well
Indyweb dev - new Plexmark - analog affirmation slider - while reading the passage I was annotating, I realised that I was in agreement with a lot of what the author was articulating. However, I have no way to indicate this match because it would be too much - this gave rise to a new Plexmark: <br /> - Have an analog control slider for each sentence that indicates - agreement on one side and - disagreement on the other side as well as a - 'don't know' button. - This gives a running indication of resonance with your own salience landscape - This can then be used in conjunction with the Indranet - If there is an indication of strong agreement, then the reader may have strong motivation to investigate that author's mindplex, - especially if there is a strong salience mismatch between the author and the reader, indicating a possible learning event

- I propose that the post-modern worldview should be renamed
- why?
- it is a name that is dependent on the second major worldview, modernism
- while the first two worldviews have autonomous names, the third, postmodernism is not autonomous but depends on the second
- the word integral is a good candidate to replace it
-
it means integration of both traditional and modern
-
two central ideas of Deep Humanity praxis fit into these three worldview
- progress
- death awareness
- worldviews can be seen from a progress framed perspective
- progress is a movement from traditional to modern
- conservatism focuses on the traditional pole while
- liberalism focuses on the modern pole
- postmodernism is a universal, cultural retroactive reflection on the relationship between both
- death awareness is a major focus on traditional knowledge systems but
- postmodernism can definitely benefit from integrating it to provide
- an integral, inclusive approach that deals effectively with
- the meaning crisis faced by a secular, modern perspective that has
- rejected traditional religions without replacing it with anything substantive

every layer of the modern computing landscape has been built upon the assumption that users are passive recipients rather than active co-creators. What we need instead are computing systems that invite every user to gradually become a creator.
Is "creator" the right word here? There's lots of software that falls outside of what is the subject of this paper that enables creators. Indeed, it has been a common refrain in criticisms of the FOSS movement that for the types of software that creatives need and/or simply desire to use the proprietary apps tend to have no equals.

The Welsh 'll' is how we write the phoneme (sound) /ɬ/ which is called the voiceless lateral fricative. This sound is not a part of English phonology. In fact the only other European language which has it is Icelandic and then it's only found in clusters. Because English lacks the /ɬ/ sound, people who are unfamiliar with it often struggle to articulate it. Depending on where it is in a word, the English speaker will approximate it as /k/ before /l/ (klan for llan), or as /l/ in isolation (alan for allan) and sometimes /θl/ in medial position (Lanethli for Llanelli). People will always approximate a phoneme which is alien to them. Just as English speakers do not pronounce the French and German /y/ as /y/ but usually as something like /u/. Often phonemes like /x/ and /χ/ are realised as /k/ (e.g. lock for Scottish loch).

Software does not need dusting, waxing, or cleaning. It often does have faults that do need attention, but this is not maintenance, but repair. Repair is fixing something that has been broken by tinkering with it, or something that has been broken all along. Conversely, as the environment around software changes, energy must be expended to keep it current. This is not maintenance; holding steady to prevent decline.

Experience takes the lead but it is anexperience widened by speech. One can thereby identify a basic tension within thephenomenological treatment of language: on the one hand, phenomenology subordinates speechto experience; on the other, phenomenology identifies the reciprocity of speech and experience.Heidegger’s signature if enigmatic formula, “Language is the house of being,” expresses just thisreciprocity (Heidegger 1998a, 39

Experienceenriches language by rooting its structures in the robust structures of perceived things(perceiving the skin as sunburned fills out the meaning of “My skin is sunburned”)
for - key insight - language - induction leads to general categories - neonates experience reality as a continuous, unbroken stream of consciousness - To form objects required object permanence - which in turn requires us to impute general categories first, - which is constructed upon a process of induction - based on the raw material of particular, remembered gestaltic experiences - ideas ( and therefore words) are essentially constructed categories that allow us to unite entire series of remembered, gestaltic experiences of phenomenological reality - Consider the author's example of sunburned skin: - Suppose the is an infant for whom the word 'skin' does not have a meaning. - The infant may have experienced many separate pre-linguistic, gestaltic experiences involving his skin: - sunburned skin - itchy skin - skin scalded by hot water - skin that is cold - dirty skin from playing in the dirt - clean skin after waking the dirt off - cut skin from a knife cutting it accidentally in the kitchen - bandaged and healed skin - All of these gestaltic experiences, when accompanied by the appropriate vocalisations of the caretaker who is present that use the word 'skin' help the infant to construct the category meaning of the word 'skin' - Early language training is an induction-intensive process - Unless we learn how to construct abstract categories at a young age, we cannot become proficient abstract language users as adults - By abstract, I mean the category nature of word s and ideas, which give them their flexibility and modularity

consider to be polarities. Differentiation of the poles of a polarity into separateconcepts, then, would emerge after the underlying form of experience (thetraversing of terrain or the passage of time, or, simply, ongoingness of expe-rience of a cyclical nature) was noticed and exploited for some purpose, suchas safety or ease. For example, it is easier moving through the forest by day,and it is cooler moving through the desert at night. There was survival valuein distinguishing different aspects of unified experience.

ivein paradox might be uncomfortable, even terrifying, at first, given our culturalabhorrence of it. To recategorize that which our current category structureconsiders an “object” (e.g., a tree, rock, or your computer) as a subject-object,we need to revise deeply held assumptions, beliefs, and ways of relating toall types of “others.” For example, we will need to understand the implicitassumption that, when I refer to “that X” (e.g., you, or that tree, or eventhat book), I am referring to an expanded sense of myself as subject-object.

new trailmark - summary to review - the word "review" may be a better trailmark word than "summary" - At this point, I will replace "summary" with "review" in the case of book or article reviews
review - Lisa's book is an insightful convergence of an important but ignored subject, the experiential intersection between language and consciousness. - Her understanding that language plays an important role in constructing our reality leads to a bold and novel proposal, especially salient at this time of global poly-meta-perma-meaning crisis. - She proposes that we individually and collectively experiment and explore creating new words and language structures that transcend the limitations of our existing language - If patterns of language usage traps us in outdated conceptual paradigms, then breaking out of these may be challenging, if not impossible, without the creation of new linguistic and language structures. - From a Stop Reset Go and Deep Humanity perpsective, Lisa's proposal for practical experimentation with constructing new languages to unleash new forms of expression is very aligned to Deep Humanity BEing journeys - As I read and annotate Lisa's book, any potential linguistic and language BEing journeys that her words inspired will be recorded for posterity
Addendum - note from journal - 2025, May 8 - reflections on Lisa's book - asynchronous communication is only one half of indyweb - the other half is asynchronous REFLECTION AND SYNTHESIS - Effective timebinding requires both - Annotation captures interpersonal shared ideas - journalling captures ours own unique synthesis only emerges from asynchronous reflections of our existent associative network of ideas and the newly ingested interpersonal ones - Annotations capture the novel and newly inputted interpersonal ones - but annotation currently only applies to hypothesis - it needs to expand to realtime meetings such as zoom calls, emails, socials media comments and socials media chats in order to be complete - Until now, there has not been a medium with sufficient set of affordances to unleash the affordances potential in language itself - While digital media has existed and rapidly developed for the past 5 decades, - employing and leveraging it to unleash the full potential of language itself has not ever been conceived of until the concept of Indyweb arrived - Indeed, we could make the claim that the indyweb is a foundational human technology on the same order as language itself because it completes language, revealing its empty ( shunyata) quality, thereby - uniting it with the universe itself - From the unlimited potential of the tacit, - the limited forms of words emerge, both are 2 sides off the same nondual coin - and unleashing the full , unrealized potential of language - It is the provenance aspect of the indyweb that provides an automatic trail of all our learning journey, making both the - individual and - intertwingled collective evolution of ideas available as records for. timebinding posterity

summary - The key takeaway is that even as adults, we have retained our innate language learning skill which requires simply treating a new language as a new, novel experience that we can apprehend naturally simply by experiencing it like the way we did when we were exposed to our first, native language - We didn't know what a "language" was theoretically when we were infants, but we simply fell into the experience and played with the experiences and our primary caretakers guided us - We didn't know grammar and rules of language, we just learned innately

as adults we have what we grew up with as young kids the the innate or the natural ability to acquire a language but most of us we've also learned and gained another quite natural ability and that is to learn things on purpose right so and so those two natures do conflict i don't think they fit well together

In the case of email, it can be argued that the widespread use of the unhyphenated spelling has made this compound noun an exception to the rule. It might also be said that closed (unhyphenated) spelling is simply the direction English is evolving, but good luck arguing that “tshirt” is a good way to write “t-shirt.”

Dreamt of learning Latin? Here’s how you’ll finally do it by [[Thomas V. Mirus]]
A non-specialist look at his Latin language acquisition with lots of resources around Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latin text.
-
Some might wonder why I recommend Lingua Latina instead of Fr. William Most’s Latin by the Natural Method series. Though Fr. Most was a friend of Catholic Culture and a brilliant theologian, after having used both books my opinion is that Most’s Latin style is significantly inferior to and less enjoyable than Ørberg’s. For example, Ørberg early on begins to acclimatize the student to the more flexible word order that makes Latin so different from English, exposure to which is essential for true reading fluency. Most’s Latin is, especially at the beginning, clunky and tedious in order to be didactic; the brilliance of Ørberg is that he manages to be didactic for the beginner while also being fluid and clever in his writing. Yet despite his greater didacticism, Fr. Most relies on English explanations of the Latin grammar, whereas Ørberg accomplishes his task entirely in Latin. Ørberg also has illustrations to teach the meaning of words without translation. Fr. Most does not include macrons to indicate vowel length, which is essential to learn correct pronunciation. He does include stress marks, which Ørberg does not, but the rules of stress are more easily learnt without stress marks than syllable length without macrons.
Thomas V. Mirus' comparison of Fr. William Most's Latin text with Hans Ørberg's.

Luke Ranieri’s video “Latin by the Ranieri-Dowling Method”.
-
Ryan Hammill of the Ancient Language Institute, whom I consulted in writing this article, told me that Lingua Latina is best used at college age and above, because of the speed with which it moves through concepts. For younger students, he highly recommends Picta Dicta: its Latin Primer series for older elementary, and its Latin Grammar for middle and high school.

when you want to use Google, you go into Google search, and you type in English, and it matches the English with the English. What if we could do this in FreeSpeech instead?

Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth.

My book, Fluent Forever: How to learn any language fast and never forget it, is an in-depth journey into the language learning process, full of tips, guidelines and research into the most efficient methods for learning and retaining foreign languages.
[[Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner]] 2014. vgl [[7 talen in 7 dagen door Gaston Dorren]] which starts more with grammar and reading comprehension actually.

Fluency in speech is not the ability to know every word and grammatical formation in a language; it’s the ability to use whatever words and grammar you know to say whatever’s on your mind. When you go to a pharmacy and ask for “That thing you swallow to make your head not have so much pain,” or “The medicine that makes my nose stop dripping water” – THAT is fluency. As soon as you can deftly dance around the words you don’t know, you are effectively fluent in your target language. This turns out to be a learned skill, and you practice it in only one situation: When you try to say something, you don’t know the words to say it, and you force yourself to say it in your target language anyways. If you want to build fluency as efficiently as possible, put yourself in situations that are challenging, situations in which you don’t know the words you need. And every time that happens, stay in your target language no matter what.
speaking fluency comes from staying in the target language.

Podcasts and radio broadcasts are usually too hard for an intermediate learner. Movies, too, can be frustrating, because you may not understand what’s going on

Reading: Books boost your vocabulary whether or not you stop every 10 seconds to look up a word. So instead of torturously plodding through some famous piece of literature with a dictionary, do this: Find a book in a genre that you actually like (The Harry Potter translations are reliably great!) Find and read a chapter-by-chapter summary of it in your target language (you’ll often find them on Wikipedia). This is where you can look up and make flashcards for some key words, if you’d like. Find an audiobook for your book. Listen to that audiobook while reading along, and don’t stop, even when you don’t understand everything. The audiobook will help push you through, you’ll have read an entire book, and you’ll find that it was downright pleasurable by the end.
Reading to deepen understanding suggests any book and go through, find online chapter summaries in target langauge, listen to audiobook while reading it, as it forces you along.
-
Vocabulary Customization: Learning the top 1000 words in your target language is a slam-dunk in terms of efficiency, but what about the next thousand words? And the thousand after that? When do frequency lists stop paying dividends? Generally, I’d suggest stopping somewhere between word #1000 and word #2000. At that point, you’ll get better gains by customizing. What do you want your language to do? If you want to order food at a restaurant, learn food vocabulary. If you plan to go to a foreign university, learn academic vocabulary
Adding to vocabulary has diminishing returns if you go by freq of usage after 1k-2k words. Use thematic lists for your purposes. E.g. [[% Interessevelden 20200523102304]] as starting point. Then go back to the flashcards w images used before. I can see building sets like these.

On its surface, Google Images is a humble image search engine. But hiding beneath that surface is a language-learning goldmine: billions of illustrated example sentences, which are both searchable and machine translatable
Suggest that google image headlines are a good source of additional example sentences for grammar learning, as it includes machine translation in the search results on mouse over. Grabs those sentences for flash cards. I think the time used to make the cards may well be the key intervention.

How do you learn all the complicated bits of “My homework was eaten by my dog”? Simple: Use the explanations and translations in your grammar book to understand what a sentence means, and then use flashcards to memorize that sentence’s component parts, like this:
Suggests making flashcards for each of the three types of changes, in any given example. allows speeding up compared to the book, as you do them w visuals on flash cards, and the spaced rep takes out most examples in a grammar book, leaving you with the repetition you need only.
-
n every single language, grammar is conveyed using some combination of three basic operations: grammar adds words (You like it -> Do you like it?), it changes existing words (I eat it -> I ate it), or it changes the order of those words (This is nice -> Is this nice?). That’s it. It’s all we can do. And that lets us break sentences down into grammatical chunks that are very easy to memorize.
Boils grammar down to adding words, changing existing words, changing the order of words. Allows [[Chunking 20210312215715]] that makes it easier to memorise.
-
2-3 months Now it’s time to crack open your grammar book. And when you do, you’ll notice some interesting things: First, you’ll find that you’ve built a rock-solid foundation in the spelling and pronunciation system of your language. You won’t even need to think about spelling anymore, which will allow you to focus exclusively on the grammar. Second, you’ll find that you already know most of the words in your textbook’s example sentences. You learned the most frequent words in Stage 2, after all. All you need to do now is discover how your language puts those words together.
3rd stage is the grammar. Suggests using a book, but with the advantage of already knowing the words and spelling of any examples, allowing focus on the grammar. Takes 2-3 months.
-
To begin any language, I suggest starting with the most common, concrete words,
Suggestion to start learning words with a basic list. Author compiled a list of 625. See [[A Base Vocabulary List for Any Language 20241208160954]]
Suggests the basic list takes about 1-2 months
-
These are words that are common in every language and can be learned using pictures, rather than translations: words like dog, ball, to eat, red, to jump. Your goal is two-fold: first, when you learn these words, you’re reinforcing the sound and spelling foundation you built in the first stage, and second, you’re learning to think in your target language.
Use flashcards with images to learn words in a new language. Skip the translation part. Also reinforces the visual/spatial brain connection. Search images in the target language not with the translation, so subtle diffs in meaning are maintained.
-
Spelling is the easiest part of this process. Nearly every grammar book comes with a list of example words for every spelling. Take that list and make flashcards to learn the spelling system of your language, using pictures and native speaker recordings to make those example words easier to remember.
To learn spelling find a grammar book that has lists of examples. Turn those into flashcards for spelling.
Flashcards are the primary mnemonic tactic in this article.

This gives you a few super powers: your well-trained ears will give your listening comprehension a huge boost from the start, and your mouth will be producing accurate sounds. By doing this in the beginning, you’re going to save yourself a great deal of time, since you won’t have to unlearn bad pronunciation habits later on. You’ll find that native speakers will actually speak with you in their language, rather than switching to English at the earliest opportunity.
Hearing and pronunciation tackled upfront makes you sound more fluent. Prevents the effect of never getting a chance to use it bc others switch to your language.
-
Once your ears begin to cooperate, mastering pronunciation becomes a lot easier.
listening precedes pronouncing. Vgl how I 'suddenly' heard the begin and end of words in Vorarlbergerisch and then quickly learned to speak it too.
-
to rewire your ears to hear new sounds, you need to find pairs of similar sounds, listen to one of them at random (“tyuk!”), guess which one you thought you heard (“Was it ‘gyuk’?”), and get immediate feedback as to whether you were right (“Nope! It was tyuk!”). When you go through this cycle, your ears adapt, and the foreign sounds of a new language will rapidly become familiar and recognizable.
this sounds like an impossible step if you are indeed foreign to a language. How would you ever find such pairings? The vid doesn't say other than describe a feedback system to learn to hear new nuances. I think perhaps using DeepL or some such to read texts to me would help.
-
If I had rushed ahead and started learning words and grammar immediately, I’d have been at a severe disadvantage whenever I learned words with those letter combinations, because I’d be missing the sound connection when trying to build memories for those words
being familiar with the sound of pronunciation will help better memorise the words later. Adding a sense to the memory. Vgl [[Fenomenologie Husserl 20200924110518]]

Vid of learning to hear diff in novel sounds in foreign language you can't easily tell apart. Find them in a language. Have a script play them to you randomly and choose an answer. Feedback will bring you up from random to about 80% being right. Rewiring your brain to hear the differences. I bet non-anglo speakers wiill find this easier as they are never accomodated outside their own country.

“There are a lot of people who mistakenly think intelligibility is the standard. ‘Oh, you knew what I was saying.’ Well, that’s not the standard. That’s a really bottom-of-the-barrel standard,” he says. “People who are concerned with English usage usually want to have their words taken seriously, either as writers or as speakers. And if you don’t use the language very well, then it hard to have people take your ideas seriously. That’s just the reality.”
-
Some linguists would argue that there’s no point fighting against slips like that—that language is forever unfixed and deviations should simply be observed and even appreciated—or that it’s silliness to tell people to follow rules that are as arbitrary as the meaning assigned to a certain jumble of letters.

“an associative mode of perceiving metaphoric connections between correlating items in memory, and an analytic mode that is conducive to understanding cause and effect relationships”
there are two ways of thinking: the first assists in seeing creative links between ideas and the second assists in understanding how one idea leads to another (i.e cause and effect).
-
Becoming sensitized to these epistemological differences enables us to discern which aspects of creative work is emphasized more than others and see how hierarchies of knowledge get constructed.
in exploring how our foundations of knowledge are built, we can dissect how we assign value or rank to knowledge - or generally accepted assumptions.
-
tools for ideation are frequently distinct from tools for implementation, often lacking the capability to seamlessly transfer data between them
this is often seen in common design tools; is it a product of capitalism? Is the market afraid of standardization? In the transfer of one product to another?
-
This perpetuates seeing the “support staff” as merely a resource (rather than central to the creative process), whose work can be replaced.
designs solely generated by models are not informed by the complex human interaction in the design process, by designers.
-
This emphasis on “acting through the interface” [19] sees technology as acting as an extension of the artist or designer using the tool.
tech is integral to creative process - well designed tech is about ease of use and integration.
-
The third wave or the third paradigm [70] shares many of the same assumptions as the second wave – i.e. the centrality of the physical world in our construction of meaning – with a stronger focus on the various abilities of the human body.
focus on physical abilities / senses shape novelty in interaction.
-
The shift in perspective toward the social in psychology covered in the previous embodied action view of creativity resembles an analogous trend in HCI’s “second wave theories”.

-
The tool-mediated expert activity view of creative work focuses on supporting (expert) creative practices through tools. Activity theory
There are many philosophical theories that explore computers as a tool that are extensions of humans. In some circles, humans have become cyborgs in that sense - they cannot be separated from the tools they use every single day.
-
Since the 1980s, creativity research in psychology has moved away from “univariate, positivist research paradigms” to “more complex, constructivistic, systems-oriented research models” [56].
creativity research has evolved from simple, individual-focused approach to an increasingly complex, systems-oriented approach that centers social interactions and artifacts. This has attracted sociologists.
-
In other words, moment-to-moment creative actions draw from a large pool of embodied resources, relying on tacit analysis of the fit between the resource and the situation at any given moment.
In the moment, creativity relies on constant adjustments based on intuition - an intuition that is formed based on prior experience.
-
In addition to the primacy of interacting with the physical world through our bodies, the embodied view of creative work also highlights the role of the body in partnership with the dynamic situation, i.e. the moment-to-moment actions people take in response to different contingencies.
Creativity benefits from interacting with the environmental and adapting to environmental changes.
-
Creative work as reflective practice focuses on the “importance of physical and artifact-centered action in the world to aid thought”
Artifact interaction enriches design processes by grounding it in real world experience.
But what of the bias toward familiar materials? Asking a blacksmith to prototype a house and you might find yourself living in a tin can.
-
That view of creativity neglects the role the body and the physical world play during the creative process as well as the social context in which creativity takes place.
As mentioned earlier, creativity doesn't happen in a vacuum - there is a plethora of societal and culture context which any designer exists in.
-
They do not subscribe to the thinking that “geniuses use cognitive processes that are radically different from those employed by most individuals and that may not be accessible to the methods of cognitive science”
Creativity comes from common mental processes that everyone uses - all creativity (aka problem-solving) relies on the same basic principles. Creativity is, then, accessible to anyone, because it just depends on how you mix and match those principles.
Intertwined within each person are emotional, cultural, and experiential factors that inform and, at times, limit their creativity.
-
“Most opinion among design methodologists and among designers holds that the act of designing itself is not and will not ever be a scientific activity; that is, that designing is itself a nonscientific or a-scientific activity”.
design isn't scientific but concedes that scientific methods can formalize design.
-
Proponents of this movement stood on the spectrum with regards to how close they placed design next to science. On the looser end, design is viewed simply as “systematic design”, or, “the procedures of designing organized in a systematic way”
asks is creativity connected to science or science?
-
In other words, creative work is about “devis[ing] courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones”
In creativity, problem solvers choose the best tool for the job using their own foundational knowledge they've acquired over their education or career. Building upon this, what tool an individual selects to solve a problem may be based on prior values and assumptions.
-
a precise definition will adequately circumscribe creative work, marking out the part(s) of creative process or levels of expertise technology should support
current research looks to define creativity in hopes of understanding what parts of creation (iteration, design, execution) tech should help enhance, as well as which level of skill (beginner, intermediate, etc) tech should be catered towards.
-
Identifying this vagueness, Remy et al. [112] point out that creativity can simultaneously refer to the “creativity of the outcome”, “the usability of the tool itself”, or “the productivity of the process [as mediated through] CST”.
creativity can mean different things at the same time.
-
Simply put, creativity is a noun performing the work of an adjective.
to further simplify, creativity is used as a noun (a thing) but functions as an adjective (a descriptive word).
-
When evaluating computer-mediated creative work, should we ask if technology is enhancing the creative person(s) –perhaps pointing toward an adoption of CST definitions such as “[computational techniques that] mak[e] people more creative more often” [124]– or should we examine how technology is facilitating the creative activity –thus suggesting the need to develop evaluation metrics for CST that are comparable to usability principles
in evaluating computer-mediated creative work, does one focus on whether tech enhances the creator or that it facilitates the creative action?

Margaret Atwood implies that language is the tool of humanity and the tool of survival. They assimilate information through the use of stories, most importantly, an adaptation from long ago, as a melting pot of rationality and feeling, thought feeling machines/ entities are human.

Regarding storytelling, it serves as a form of escape from the repression.

self-sufficient, pre-given referent. Both the Freudian andthe Lacanian unconscious, as it were, put external reality outof play.
Even though Lacan objects and states that the unconscious is made of a chain of signifiers (language), he actually in some sense agrees with Freud in the sense that language is not connected to reality. It constructs reality.
-
language and the thing about which itspeaks
Language shapes the world experience or reality because of our signifiers that create distinctions (the other/ the symbolic) and in turn we are shaped by our world experience (truth), and therefore shaped by language and the symbolic in itself.
-
Lacan’s terms, these distinctions come to us from the order ofsignifiers, and they must therefore be understood as an activelystructuring principle.
Distinctions between subjects is purely a matter of language, when discernible things are usually gradual and not ordered. This connects to Hume's bundle theory where the human mind chooses where the boundary lies between continuity and discontinuity even when all should be gradually discontinuous -- the continuity is simply an illusion, a phantasy.
-
we will never find anything morethan gradual differences. Yet we are not a bit “man” and a bit“woman” (or vice versa), but either “man” or “woman”—we areone or the other. This absolute difference does not exist in (lived)reality, which knows only gradual distinctions.
This is an example of how language or symbolic signifiers alter the lived experience more than the lived experience does simply to the real. Does this mean that as one grows up and is exposed to more of the symbolic world and language, one is indulged more in the phantasy and is further from accessing the "real"?
-
hat clearly cannot bedirectly derived from the facts of experience.
Language shapes the experience of reality in a way that simply experiencing cannot. Like performativity. Is there a signifier that articulates this way of experience? this is created in the symbolic order, rather than any other.
-
it is a question of whether there is a signifier inthe symbolic system that articulates this connection.
The concept of fatherhood relies directly on the notion and connection between procreation and fatherhood which is passed through language, which articulates it.

Whoosh provides methods for computing the “key terms” of a set of documents. For these methods, “key terms” basically means terms that are frequent in the given documents, but relatively infrequent in the indexed collection as a whole.
Very interesting method, and way of looking at the signal. "What makes a document exceptional because something is common within itself and uncommon without".

Save this question. Show activity on this post. I'm from South East Asia, and in here, it's very common to use "kindly" as a written polite request to other people, and I often see it on the internet as well. But I've just discovered that from this website, "kindly" is regarded as a "low-brow, patronizing, and overly sensitive". Other people are recommending that you use the word "kindly". Please, never use the word "kindly" when interacting with Americans. In the view of Americans, only English-speaking Indians use this word. It comes across as low-brow, patronizing, and overly sensitive. Oh wow, I never know that. But coming from a non native western background and culture, I have nobody here I can crosscheck information with. Maybe someone here with the appropriate culture background knowledge can give some insight? Is this a general view, or just a partial view of Americans about this word? Should I stop using this word from now on, or I just overly worried over nothing? Thanks.
