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

Retrospective reflections + (See below) adjacency - sacred - relationship with - free - open source - what is your relationship with the sacred? - this is the same as asking - how do you feel in your time of solitude and aloneness? - do you feel deep connection and a sense of not being lonely while you are alone? - to be alienated if not to feel disconnected with others - as it is to be disconnected with the ceaseless sacred that continuously surrounds you, from birth to death

• 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

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

comment - Rosen points out the dualistic nature of language - Like individual living organisms, each word, like each individual organism, splits reality into an inner and an outer - Deep Humanity terminology of the individual / collective gestalt suggests that even though an individual is visibly separate from others, it is nonetheless connected to others invisibly in numerous ways - The visible individual is always only a part of the greater individual / collective gestalt - The individual / collective gestalt terminology applies equally to words as it does to living individuals

for - adjacency - Indyweb dev - natural language - timebinding - parallel vs serial processing - comparison - spoken vs written language - what's also interesting is that spoken language is timebinding, sequential and our written language descended from that, - in spite of written language existing in 2D and 3D space, it inherited sequential flow, even though it does not have to - In this sense, legacy spoken language system constrains written language to be - serial - sequential and - timebound instead of - parallel - Read any written text and you will observe that the pattern is sequential - We constrain our syntax it to "flow" sequentially in 2D space, even though there is absolutely no other reason to constrain it to do so - This also reveals another implicit rule about language, that it assumes we can only focus our attention on one aspect of reality at a time

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

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. The same nature, varies on nurture

Tim Ferris posting a text by Gabriel Wyner from 2014 on learning a new language in several steps 1) hear the novel sounds in the language and how to spell them 2) learn a list of basic words by connecting them to their image not their translatiojn 3) learn (simplified) grammar 4) continue the game (adding focused vocab, reading, listening speaking etc)

[[Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner]] 2014. vgl [[7 talen in 7 dagen door Gaston Dorren]] which starts more with grammar and reading comprehension actually.

speaking fluency comes from staying in the target language.

suggests podcasts, movies, and radio are too hard to follow at intermediate level.

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.

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.

Stage 4 is the deepening / getting to fluency bit. Reinforced by actual usage. Either through adding more vocab, reading texts, listening to speakers etc.

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.

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.

Boils grammar down to adding words, changing existing words, changing the order of words. Allows [[Chunking 20210312215715]] that makes it easier to memorise.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

listening precedes pronouncing. Vgl how I 'suddenly' heard the begin and end of words in Vorarlbergerisch and then quickly learned to speak it too.

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.

being familiar with the sound of pronunciation will help better memorise the words later. Adding a sense to the memory. Vgl [[Fenomenologie Husserl 20200924110518]]

Create a foundation for spelling and sounds, to get a feel/sense of it, making it less 'other'.

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.

Language of publication is such an important attribute, and it is not mentioned enough. I wonder if AI translations will start to change the bias towards English?

Tim Coughlan, University at Bath; work is focused on the design and evaluation of systems that support inclusion, creativity, and openness in learning.

cognitive scientist Lee Gabora's work looks at how culture changes over time, how people come up with new ideas, and how this helps culture change.

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).

in exploring how our foundations of knowledge are built, we can dissect how we assign value or rank to knowledge - or generally accepted assumptions.

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?

designs solely generated by models are not informed by the complex human interaction in the design process, by designers.

tech is integral to creative process - well designed tech is about ease of use and integration.

focus on physical abilities / senses shape novelty in interaction.

focus on group work and social contexts of digital environments.

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.

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 the moment, creativity relies on constant adjustments based on intuition - an intuition that is formed based on prior experience.

Creativity benefits from interacting with the environmental and adapting to environmental changes.

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.

As mentioned earlier, creativity doesn't happen in a vacuum - there is a plethora of societal and culture context which any designer exists in.

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.

design isn't scientific but concedes that scientific methods can formalize design.

asks is creativity connected to science or science?

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.

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.

creativity can mean different things at the same time.

to further simplify, creativity is used as a noun (a thing) but functions as an adjective (a descriptive word).

in evaluating computer-mediated creative work, does one focus on whether tech enhances the creator or that it facilitates the creative action?

Foreshadowing the existence of the Wall, where they are hung up. Play of language

Again how language can be subversive and deceptive in comparison with the pure and multifaceted nature of desire and the senses.

She admits her own unreliability by using the physical sensory imagery and therefore showing that language is often insufficient and incapable of fully describing the human experience of the senses.

The fact that none of these words except the word "fucking" can describe it shows that all humanity is taken out of the equation, only beastiality is left. Anything to describe a human experience of sex cannot be used (copulation, rape, making love). No emotion. Just the act itself

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. Though it is hard to achieve (the level of focus) it is still there -- and it defies laws in the sense that even when there is nobody, a story has to be told to somebody. This abstractness also with language shows that restriction cannot exist because of these paradoxical loopholes

This is ironic and very important. Freedom to and freedom from -- playing with language, a form of manipulation. Gilead is more than for its birth rate purposes... A form of gaslighting.

Shows the role of language in perception, in reality, and yet also shows that there is a limit that the mindset can do for you. It is still suffering, without duty.

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 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.

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.

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"?

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.

The concept of fatherhood relies directly on the notion and connection between procreation and fatherhood which is passed through language, which articulates it.

Language = reality even for freud

This is why the Freudian slip exists (the reasoning behind the freudian slip) -- since words can only exist in the unconscious in a purely material way, mistakened meanings between words are due to sound and appearance alone.

Lacan states that the unconscious is made of language because the states of knowledge within the unconscious can only be understood by way of language? through articulation?
