Verbiage is far less important than meaning, and policing descriptive terms has no transformative effect on reality.
If you find yourself playing word games all the time youâre probably engaging in some form of self denial.

Itâs a socialist and communist tactic
It is but itâs also a sort of brain worm that erodes peopleâs ability to engage substantively with reality.
Weâre saying the same thing đ
Iâm saying I see conservatives do it too. Though not quite as much.
Word games are literally my job, ngmi I guess.
Wouldnât a lawyer be the opposite? Purposely using exact wording so there is zero ambiguity? Unless itâs at a federal level where youâre trying to impose laws as a catch-all for anything they donât like.
Litigators are the opposite of transactional lawyers. Iâm a litigator, which means I have to find cases to convince a judge a dog is a cat sometimes.
Cash vs cache.
One is "a place to store valuable things" (weapons, gold, whatever) and the other is quite literally the opposite thing, "a place that loses whatever value you put into it"
We already had the words "money" and "dollar"; bastardizing the word cache into cash was a (IMO completely unnecessary) bonus. The result is easy: no one knows how to value anything for their entire life
I know what you mean or I got you. Save time, make connections.
Reality is subjective
Itâs not
Everything in the universe is either a potato or not a potato. Thatâs a fact jack.
True, but you can only know the potato through experience, which is subjective. The same potato could be highly valued or totally disposable based on how hungry or poor you are.
what has more objective value, potato or ounce of gold?
am I alone and hungry, or able to trade?
the value becomes subjective
I can point you to Keonnes dilemma with the Mackerel standard , as an example. And they still dont eat them.
eat the chicken, spend the mackerel, Gresham's law in action
Sure but itâs still a potato. Things either are or are not.
We come to these conclusions using input processed through faulty hardware. When you say "potato", the neurons in your jar brain can only draw from your subjective experience of what a potato is. When someone else hears you say "potato", they can't possibly be experiencing the same platonic form of a potato as your brain. You are both experiencing different potatos.
potato chimeras exist, jus sayin
If the base is potato itâs potato lol
hot dog? or, not hot dog?
Most intellectually stimulating post âď¸ dayâŚ.so far!!!đ¤đ¤Żđđ

Proof of potato 
There once was a life with no script,
No label, no tag, no pre-written quip.
One called it a prison,
One called it art,
Same daysâjust a different grip.
Reality just is, our understanding of reality is subjective and some of the subjective understandings of reality are more wrong than others
Being a lawyer...
Word salad, order UP! Say less, mean more?
Couldnât agree more. Playing semantic games doesnât fix reality, it just delays facing it.
