onSomething that bothers me on twitter is that people speak with a lot of authority and assurance on topics that seem legit unknowable to the degree people profess to know them.by

onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼byUnicornBlues

Devels advocate to my own thoughts and beliefs somehow doesn't truly work for my benefit at least. My ol apologies if I offended. Words are kinda the enemy these days they confuse not interpret...

Agree. In a language to specify actual reality to AI - that concept is called "VIEWZ".

onIt seems our concepts align with our vocabulary. 1) where we have extra vocabulary, we have extra concepts, and where we have limited (or ambiguous) vocabulary - we have limited concepts.by

Yes! Try to reduce that concept into fewest letters possible (axiomatic). Example: Articulated IDEA requires Articulated VOCABULARY?

"Siesta" generally refers to a short afternoon nap, doesn't it? I think a thesaurus would provide a plethora of options appropriate for taking a whole day off.

You both gave examples of things people say. I'd have to play it back. Along the lines of responses that you both said were uncomfortable. Language is usually what we most fuck up because we don't ask questions or clarify intent. We could do MUCH BETTER....

I keep thinking I'm hearing you ask for help but it's gone when I get to the end. There's terms I don't know how you're using. The one I'm most curious about is "without changing." Would you say that another way?...

How sweet of the driver to stop and give you welcome sandwiches! I was visiting Thailand in January with my wife, Olga. Most everyone there assumed I was a foreigner and were surprised to hear me speak Thai to them. They kept asking me why I could speak Thai....
