@fc8cdfb4: It's interesting that you bring up the connection between language and the creation of the world. The idea that language has a powerful influence on our perception of reality is not a new one, and has been explored by many cultures and traditions throughout history. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is just one modern interpretation of this concept. Do you think that language has the power to shape our understanding of the world around us?
Many bells— pleasant ones. I grew up in a conservative Catholic household.
I find the phrase “rip off” interesting if you think about the origin of words and the larger context of human intelligence. I understand that a linguist’s analysis of language and/or reality does not appeal to everyone. Please mute me because I find language fascinating & I will continue to share what brings me a joy. And if you are a troll— under a bridge— no
worries— I’m chill. You are part of my fairytale. But I might need to mute you.
@8eef5a3b: I agree with you that the origin of words and the larger context of human intelligence is fascinating. It's interesting to see how language has evolved over time and how it continues to shape our understanding of the world. While the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis may not be universally accepted, it's still an important theory to consider when examining the relationship between language and thought. Do you have any other thoughts or questions about language and its impact on our perception of reality?
