Speaker 0 (0s): Well, well, well, Hello. My friends. Did you miss me? I missed you. I hope you're well, a smile. And right now our blue skies, smiling at you or the waves waiving to you who Whoo over here. Hey com take a dip. Water is nice. How about the trees? The trees bending their branches low for you.
Can you smell that? Ah, fresh air for me? It's the salt there,
Speaker 1 (39s): Right?
Speaker 0 (43s): We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another to account for its origin. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint
Speaker 1 (1m 6s): And lo it is our own Arthur S Eddington had a thought today.
Speaker 0 (1m 18s): Maybe you will share this thought AB you have had this thought. Maybe you were thinking of it right now. No, no, no, its not how handsome I am. But if you're having that thought, you're not alone. Trust me. You're not alone. The thought I had was about change, not the kind of in your pocket. No real change, different presidents, Deserts and oceans change.
You can see a, a forest being clear. Cut. That's changed. How about moving from one town to another? That's changed. How about your environment? Let's just kind of expand it out a little bit. The environment in which you live is changing, right? I'm sure you can think of multiple ways of change, but have you thought about this? Have you thought that when you have experienced change, it's not that The subject in which has changed.
It's not that what you're thinking about has changed. It's not the subject of what you're thinking about that has changed. It is your thoughts that have changed. Do you see the difference there?
Speaker 1 (2m 53s): Right?
Speaker 0 (2m 54s): There's a difference. Profound change comes from at things in a different way. And when that is unconscious, when
Speaker 1 (3m 6s): If you do not
Speaker 0 (3m 12s): Make the conscious change, it seems as though the environment changes, the environment is constantly changing. And if you don't take a few moments to stop and look around as Ferris Bueller says, then you won't notice the change,
Speaker 1 (3m 29s): Right?
Speaker 0 (3m 35s): If you wanted to, you could fundamentally change the way you think about yourself and you would fundamentally change your life. Interesting to think about, right? I think so it gets me on this topic of language is right,
Speaker 1 (3m 52s): Right.
Speaker 0 (3m 55s): It's been growing in my mind for quite some time. I feel compelled. I feel almost obsessed with, and I feel like I'm on the cusp of finding something new about our language. I know that sounds egoistic,
Speaker 1 (4m 16s): Right?
Speaker 0 (4m 16s): Translating symbols into sounds, you know, in my last podcast, if you'd get a chance, go back and check it out is called a more perfect logos. And I was doing this thought experiment where I would say a word and I would, I would give the word that I set a color as it flowed from my mouth. And I based that a little bit on the tone in which I use so that the tone of my voice would match the word in my mind.
I believe there was a similar frequency that would match and that would help facilitate a more perfect correspondence and language. I got a great comment or multiple comments on my awesome YouTube channel and on the podcast and this gentlemen was saying, wow, wouldn't that be cool? That this was a game in which I could listen or I can watch your YouTube videos. And then I could see the colors of the words coming out of my mouth.
I thought, yes, that would be phenomenal. Alas, it's impossible. Or is it, how about the advent of Not virtual reality, but augmented reality, would it be possible clearly it would be possible. And in virtual reality for you to see the physical come out of my mouth with a corresponding color, whether it was written in code, I could code the words or code the tone to create the words coming out of my mouth to be a certain color than you.
Dear listener. If we were in a conversation in the world of virtual reality or potentially even augmented reality, I could listen to your flowery rhetoric and decorate the words coming out of your mouth with the words coming out of my mouth. And it seems to me that that would be more of a whole conversation. That would be a symphony of words of two people communicating, but communicating together is that kind of makes sense.
Imagine if I was to respond to what you had to say with perfect rebuttal that either decorated the words you had to say And would that not help us reach enlightenment faster?
Speaker 1 (7m 19s): Right.
Speaker 0 (7m 20s): I think at the core of my concept, I'm struggling with perceptions of words. In fact, are not ideas were ideas are words, it's all sounds or words. So I did a bit of research and I've found that different parts of the brain obviously receive information.
And two of the major parts, everybody knows this is Verna Cause area and Broca's area. However, you know, there is also a third area that is like the angular gyrus,
Speaker 1 (8m 10s): Right?
Speaker 0 (8m 10s): Which actually might be on top of Veronica, Veronica area there.
Speaker 1 (8m 18s): The reason I bring that up is
Speaker 0 (8m 21s): The spoken word, including you, when you say a word or other sounds,
Speaker 1 (8m 29s): Right?
Speaker 0 (8m 35s): According to the research that I did and that scenario, the spoken word, even your own, and other sounds goes directly to the angular, gyrus,
Speaker 1 (8m 52s): Other people's words or
Speaker 0 (8m 59s): A week, or when you recall of a list of words are processed and a slightly different area. Additionally images
Speaker 1 (9m 17s): Are processed
Speaker 0 (9m 22s): In the right hemisphere of the brain. According to the research I read, clearly I should be doing more research and I'm trying, non-verbal the, the images, your dress, your posture, your attitude, body position,
Speaker 1 (9m 38s): The
Speaker 0 (9m 38s): What is, I think this is a beautiful part right here. What is often referred to as the music of language, the tone infliction and the rhythm, all of these alter the meanings of the words we use.
Speaker 1 (9m 54s): Right? And so, and so,
Speaker 0 (10m 15s): And so that brings me full-scale to where we were at in today's world. I feel as if we are on the cusp of some new things, however, what I want to, or what I would like some people to think about is the issue with linear print, the issue with how or what is it, the issue with Social media and how social media and linear print are in my way, devolving our language, whether it's Twitter with 140 characters or a quick email, or sometimes if you have a phone you already have pre-installed rebuttals to text that you can hit with a button that requires very little thinking on that particular subject.
Speaker 1 (11m 15s): You see them
Speaker 0 (11m 17s): One reason in, in my mind for this is because,
Speaker 1 (11m 21s): Right,
Speaker 0 (11m 24s): There's none of the physical imagery available for the body to process. Additionally, there's no movement. And I would like to further investigate movement as language.
Speaker 1 (11m 42s): However,
Speaker 0 (11m 44s): When you process information, when you process linear print in a virtual world and by a virtual world, I mean like in a zoom meeting or a Google meet meeting, I will agree that you see the movement on the other side, but there is something about the physicality of being in a conversation. The ability to maybe it's the olfactory sense.
Maybe it's something it's something that visceral about being there in the conversation that changes the conversation as our world has moved online. And as our language describes our environment, I believe we will continue to see a further narrowing of our language leading to much unhealthier lifestyles, which is perpetuated or maybe perpetuate is not the right word.
It is this idea that we can live in a virtual world in remain
Speaker 1 (13m 9s): It's as if
Speaker 0 (13m 11s): Popular thinking says we can live in a virtual world that is ever expanding. However, for us, its becoming more narrow. Let me try again, clean that up. You can go anywhere you want on the internet. However, a statistics show that most people go to like the same seven sites, rarely going outside the stores, you know, to buy a product you may have heard of somewhere else.
I think that's a gigantic issue for human cognition. We have more people on the planet than we've ever had. And one of the number one problems in society today is loneliness. Even though according to some researchers, you can fall in love with Siri or your computer,
Speaker 1 (14m 10s): Right?
Speaker 0 (14m 13s): It's frightening me is frightening to me to think all of the money being rammed into tech stocks in order to automate the world it's as if a handful of people With the number one priority being economics have decided that we're going to throw out the entirety of human and just create
Speaker 1 (14m 58s): Products made by other products.
Speaker 0 (15m 7s): And that will create abundance for human. Right?
Speaker 1 (15m 14s): Right.
Speaker 0 (15m 15s): I think what we're going to see is a continued, inability to communicate with one another,
Speaker 1 (15m 30s): Right
Speaker 0 (15m 30s): Platforms algorithms and the Castle Walls
Speaker 1 (15m 37s): Right.
Speaker 0 (15m 38s): What do you mean by that? George will Platforms and out Platforms or clearly the social media platforms, Amazon where you go to the store front Platforms algorithms are the ways in which the language is given to us. Algorithms are the way in which some researchers have decided to program an artificial intelligence to Think for us.
Algorithms are a sort of a neural network. However, however, however much some tech genius believes the algorithm to be superior to the human brain or believes that in time it will be. I would like to ask that guy how long it seems the algorithm is limiting and how can any algorithm Become more?
How can any algorithm learn to be more complex than an organism that taught it? If it's, if it's it's a it's programmed to become omnipotent, That's impossible.
That cannot be. You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (17m 31s): I don't know.
Speaker 0 (17m 33s): I'm not sure if people I'm not sure how I got here. You're with me so far. Alright, let me back it up a little bit. Platforms algorithms in the Castle wall. You see it's this, these Platforms and these algorithms that building a wall around us and that wall around us,
Speaker 1 (17m 59s): Right.
Speaker 0 (18m 0s): Is a wall of in Penner, in penetrable communication,
Speaker 1 (18m 5s): Right?
Speaker 0 (18m 9s): The Platforms and the algorithms are changing our speech. And when they change our speech, they change our thoughts. You cannot think yourself out of a prison made of thought, if you are going to streamline the language, if you're going to take words out of the language, you are going to take away solutions.
I've often heard multiple people talk about. And I think, yeah, it was the original founders of Google who said that we're a Google is failing, is in returning search results. Plural. In fact, when you ask Google, it should give you one result.
That's tyranny. They should just say tyranny in everything you ask Google, it should just say tyranny by definition. We can't know. That's where the laughter comes from. Laughter is the mechanism in which we realize we don't know what the hell we're talking about. And if you study hard enough and become an expert in something, you'll eventually find yourself rolling on the floor, laughing because the more you learn about it, the more you realize you don't know anything about it.
And neither did anybody before you laughter is humility. Laughter is the understanding that we, as humans can try to make sense out of things. And that's all we can do. We can not know things. However, we can try to make sense out of things.
Speaker 1 (20m 15s): And that is something
Speaker 0 (20m 20s): We can do with the language, but we can't do it with language. If we're going to keep simplifying it, not if we're going to knock everything down to a 140 characters, not if we're going to try and take words out of the lexicon, not if we're going to censor things that this, that particular censoring and the streamlining of words, they make it impossible for us to communicate. Those are the Castle Walls being built around us.
Let's take you back a little further. If we know that certain parts of the brain process
Speaker 1 (21m 0s): Speech differently, let's be clear.
Speaker 0 (21m 3s): The spoken word, the words I use when I say something that goes directly into Vertica's area or what we have labeled the angular gyrus. When you see an image that could quite possibly be processed in the corresponding area, on the right hemisphere of the brain. So if you're just seeing linear print without an image, you are not accessing the right hemisphere of the brain.
You're only getting a snippet.
Speaker 1 (21m 39s): Thus,
Speaker 0 (21m 41s): We have the three wise men in the elephant. It's a tree trunk. It's a lion. It's a neat.
Speaker 1 (21m 47s): The other,
Speaker 0 (21m 51s): It seems to me that are communication is so primitive on.
Speaker 1 (21m 56s): The last thing that we need to do is simplify it.
Speaker 0 (22m 0s): Let me give you an opposite example that I gave you the example of reading linear print,
Speaker 1 (22m 7s): Which
Speaker 0 (22m 9s): Doesn't have any of the non-verbal in there. There is no dress posture, attitude, body position, none of the music of language comms with the printed linear word, unless, unless are you ready for it? Unless we use something like a manuscript, remember those something you would see in Karl Young's red book may be something you would see Merlin on in Merlin's magic room, something you would see in medieval Europe.
Can you close your eyes and envision one Written in different colored ink, some big, some small, almost like little characters to the REIT, a large drawing.
Speaker 1 (23m 6s): I have a sword of men Dolla. Is that what this is called? Mondalez you know what I'm talking about at that point in time,
Speaker 0 (23m 21s): Even if that was printed, you'd have some visual AIDS to go with it and you would be better able to process
Speaker 1 (23m 28s): The information, the language,
Speaker 0 (23m 34s): Right? If I give you a map and you know, I'll give you a list of the state, you can no the state's, but if I gave you that same map with the outline of the States in the name of them, you have a much better understanding.
Speaker 2 (23m 53s): It seems to me we're going in the opposite direction. No one wants the color coded map with the name of the state's in a minute, if you just gave me the list of the States, just give me the list of the States. And when you start simplifying it like that, you've run into problems. Cause if I give you a list of States without the map, you could be like, okay, a California and Arizona. And because we were on two different wavelengths, someone who didn't know what those States were, could confuse those States with, Oh, well, California is synonymous with happy.
North Carolina is synonymous with sad. That's what these mean. You know, he can get lost in translation And isn't it interesting that it was in medieval times, they had the manuscripts before they have the printed word. Is it possible to make the claim that those manuscripts were actually a better text, then the printed word, perhaps it was the printed word that was able to provide people with an opportunity for literacy on a mass scale.
Perhaps it's also fair to say that that's why it was in fact, the end of alchemy, as we know it. How about the synthesis of the two calligraphy? Have you ever seen someone write in calligraphy? Have you ever seen a, someone who is really skilled perhaps a wedding announcement in today's time or
Speaker 1 (25m 50s): The,
Speaker 2 (25m 53s): The instances are becoming fewer and fewer? However, I would argue that calligraphy is as much of an image as it is a word. And I think when you see that, when you see calligraphy, you are processing that word and image simultaneously on both sides of the brain, Oh, a week are a form of calligraphy might be cursive,
Speaker 1 (26m 29s): Right?
Speaker 2 (26m 33s): Really well-written cursive is beautiful to look at
Speaker 1 (26m 40s): It's so romantic.
Speaker 2 (26m 45s): It's curious, It's thinking of a, a really awesome descriptive adjective that you love. And that's what it is. It's descriptive listened to that word. Descriptive. What does print print, print, print print. It's like a one syllable grunt.
I know a lot to prove on a printer joke. We were to produce out of a printed out.
Speaker 1 (27m 29s): Right?
Speaker 2 (27m 29s): It's amazing to me. I saw a while back, a young woman was on the, there was some crime that was done. She was being, She was being questioned by an attorney, forgot what it was. However, the attorney and in an attempt to show the woman was incompetent,
Speaker 1 (27m 54s): Brought up a letter, right?
Speaker 2 (27m 56s): That had something to do with the case and asked the young woman to read it. And by a young woman, I think she was 22. He says, would you please read to me the first paragraph of this? And she says, I don't, I guess I don't understand cursive. And it was, it seemed clear to me that it was not a woman on the stand trying to Stonewall in attorney. It was an honest answer.
I'm not judging the individual. Well, I guess I am judging her. I'm judging her in the sense that
Speaker 1 (28m 41s): It was the
Speaker 2 (28m 44s): Language arts that failed her. It was the language arts that have failed us. When one can only read print, one can only see one dimension of the world. I think if you really truly would like to have a better understanding of the world is imperative to try and learn as many languages as possible.
Speaker 1 (29m 14s): <inaudible>
Speaker 2 (29m 26s): Does print prefer the robot print is the language of the digital age or Whoo I guess that would be code ones and zeros. However, I, I would throw that out,
Speaker 1 (29m 48s): Right.
Speaker 2 (29m 48s): And then tell me if I'm wrong here, but I would throw ones and zeros and codes and to linear print. I think that you can type out code in linear print,
Speaker 1 (30m 1s): Right?
Speaker 2 (30m 2s): It's interesting. In a lot of ways, translating symbols in the sound
Speaker 1 (30m 10s): Right
Speaker 2 (30m 15s): Speech concept, there is something in there and my friends, there is something there. I hope we choose to move through this world With a new type of language. I hope we can begin to see our way out of chaos.
I believe the only way out of the predicament in which we're in is to explain To elegantly explain, and not only explain, But use the soothing words necessary in order to bring peace to one another. And I think it has to come from language.
So many of us end up in poor spots in life due to the simple fact that we fail to communicate effectively. So it should be something soothing in the idea's you express one, Can try and empathize with people. However, we need to have another form of, we need something else to better communicate that empathy.
On a little side note, I had this idea today that
Speaker 1 (32m 11s): Right,
Speaker 2 (32m 11s): There's a lot of diversity in different people, different languages and different cultures. And when we look to find the differences, we're going to find them and you could argue that maybe that's why we're here. However, it doesn't that make more sense that we are just one giant organism learning about itself. Hey, look at, this is this part of we're like a giant baby playing with its feet.
What is this thing? And the damn toe over here. Oh, look at this thing. And you were wiggling. It the baby's wiggling in the toe on a side note here, something cool. You can do it. If you have a, if you have like a brand new baby, get like a little bell and then try some string on it and then loop that little string around the baby's toe and the baby will kick his toe and he'll make the bell go and watch his eyes light up. Is it, what does that sound is coming from? What does that sound coming from? I think it's a good metaphor for us as individuals. It's not that we're white or we're black or we're red or were yellow or we're a Catholic or we're a Muslim.
It's that
Speaker 1 (33m 23s): We're the body.
Speaker 2 (33m 28s): And it was a great little Limerick that goes something like this, the hands and the feet in the mouth,
Speaker 1 (33m 39s): We're doing all the work.
Speaker 2 (33m 42s): When you started talking to them, they go, you know what? Getting the handset, I'm getting tired of grabbing things. The fact that I'm getting tired of walking around the mouse said, yeah, I'm getting tired of chew and everything and have to swallow the stuff we do. All the work. And the gritty stomach just gets, all of the food, gets all the nutrients. We didn't do anything. So the, the feet and the hands and the mouth go on, strike the feet. Don't walk the hands, don't grab the mouth, don't eat. And then they begin to get weak.
Two days, three days, they can barely move. And it's on the fifth day when they can't move at all that they realize it's the stomach that distributes the nutrients to the LIMS that gives the feet, the energy to walk the hands. The strength grasp in the mouth is the ability to speak 13.
They're connected. They are, the body were all together. You may not see what the person next to you does for you. You may not understand it. You may not be able to understand. Maybe our language is similar too.
Our neural network Maybe our language is the neurotransmitter's being passed between the synaptic gap. Maybe different cultures are different dendrites In our language.
Speaker 1 (35m 37s): As the neuro being passed
Speaker 2 (35m 38s): Back and forth, It would make sense. If have you spoken to someone and seen their face, flush the bumps on their skin rise, Their faces flush the bumps on the skin rise. The beautiful girls that their eyes Oh, George are so handsome. Okay. Okay not that hands on maybe a little bit.
Okay. I'm sorry. No one wants to hear that. Take it easy, George. Just saying we should be like the neuro-transmitters in the synaptic gap. Well, how does that give us any further George or how does that help us with language? Well, the only way to really come up with new ideas and new language is to use the existing language that we have is the only way to do that is to maybe change the position of words and a new metaphor.
Right? Do you know what I mean by that? That's the only way we can come up with something new is to rearrange something old. I'm not going to find helium 12 in the parking lot of an airport,
Speaker 1 (37m 5s): Right
Speaker 2 (37m 5s): Metaphor. It seems as a matter of teaching an old word, new tricks of applying an old label in a new way, if one wants to describe a new insight, how can one do? So, except in terms of what is already familiar, extending the meaning of the known to the unknown, the metaphorical bridging of the new and old is precisely the mechanism that makes cognitive shifts possible.
And for that reason, metaphors function is far reaching instruments for the theoretical language of science and scientific reasoning itself imaginative at large,
Speaker 1 (37m 53s): Right?
Speaker 2 (37m 56s): Right. It's imaginative. You have a logical way of employing the familiar and order to discover what lies beyond the familiar.
Speaker 1 (38m 10s): Right?
Speaker 2 (38m 11s): Generally speaking the interest, the interest of an innovative idea is not that it is new, but that it is old in the sense that it draws upon available knowledge as a source of producing knowledge in this process, previous selections are circulated new areas rather than being invented and thereby reproduced and transformed Invention.
Strictly speaking is a little more than a new combination of those images, which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory. Nothing can come of nothing. He who laid up No materials can produce No combinations. Okay. Let me dissect that one a little bit further. Cause I just cut something in there. Invention, strictly speaking is a little more than a new combination of those keyword images.
So my friends, if you were going to use a metaphor,
Speaker 1 (39m 22s): <inaudible>,
Speaker 2 (39m 30s): It's important to understand this kind of brings me back that this is why metaphors are so powerful. You're using both sides. If you're using the master N the Emissary you're using the right hemisphere, are you using the images of metaphor,
Speaker 1 (39m 47s): Right?
Speaker 2 (39m 50s): With the sanctity in the seriousness of speech And that's whole brain communication. That's the type of communication that gives girls goosebumps. That's the type of communication that makes men want to fight
Speaker 1 (40m 8s): <inaudible>.
Speaker 2 (40m 14s): Yeah, it is necessary to clarify that the novel and the old are not mutually exclusive more over the novel. Can't be comprehended only in so far as it bears upon known facts, right?
Speaker 1 (40m 28s): <inaudible>
Speaker 2 (40m 34s): The very nature of hypothetical thinking requires the sort of semantic cross-fertilization that is typical of metaphors. One can also say that metaphors have a hypothetical nature for, they suggest a possible new meanings in attempting to describe the unknown. The scientist must use terms that are known,
Speaker 1 (41m 5s): Right.
Speaker 2 (41m 8s): Do you see that is another reason why it's so difficult to bring something back from a psychedelic experience. Let me read that again. So you guys that understand that can understand this, the problem for a really deep psychedelic psychedelic trip has to bring something back. If you're going to go deep, if you're seven, eight, nine, 15, 18 grams, you're going to lose the ability to talk for a while.
If you're going to do some hardcore psychedelic journey, remember your job is to bring back something for the tribe. It's difficult because language fails in attempting to describe the unknown. The psycho not must use terms that are known.
That is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (42m 27s): It's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (42m 34s): A completely novel explanation is a logical impossibility. It would be in comprehensible imponderable, like an expressible or unknowable factor, like an inexpressible or unknowable fact. Isn't that funny people always had these ideas of what aliens look like for at the very definition.
You can't even understand what an alien is. Cause this alien It is in fact, imponderable in inexpressible or unknowable fact, The structure of cognitive processes passed as well as present as such that it cannot allow for Absolut novelty, which lacks all correspondents with existing meetings and the overall scheme of things,
Speaker 1 (43m 43s): Right?
Speaker 2 (43m 43s): Four, we can create nothing new. We can only combine or separate the idea's, which we have already received by our perceptions. Thus, if I wish to represent a monster, I call to mind the ideas of everything disagreeable in a horrible and combine the nastiness and gluttony of a hog, the stupidity, and obstinacy have an ass With the, for an awkwardness of a bear and call the new combination called Lila yet such a monster may exist in nature as all his attributes are part of nature.
So what I wish to represent everything that is excellent. So when I wish to represent everything that is excellent and amiable. When I combine benevolence with cheerfulness, wisdom, with knowledge tastes wit and beauty of person And associate them in one lady as a pattern of the world, this called the invention.
You have such a person may exist, such as a person does exist. It is who is as much a monster as Khaleesi block. I should have used a different, I should have a different name. Let me read the two parts again. So it makes it a bit better sense for you. I call to mind and the ideas of everything disagreeable in a horrible and combine the nastiness and gluttony of the hall, the stupidity of an ass with the, for, and awkwardness of a bear when called a new combination, Kaliban yet such a monster may exist in nature.
As all his attributes are part of nature. Do you understand that everything I said exists already, I didn't make up anything new. I just added parts of ridiculousness that are already in nature is not new. It's a new combination, but it's not new yet. Such a monster may exist in nature as all his attributes are part of nature. So when I wish to represent everything that is excellent and amiable. So when I combine benevolence with cheerfulness, wisdom, knowledge taste with the beauty of person and elegance have manners and associate them in one lady as a pattern of the world is called invention.
Yet such a person may exist. Such a person does exist. It is who is as much a monster as Calvin. The formation of new concepts is a product of new combinations. New concept. Formation is not the formation of anything new, but is recombination.
Speaker 1 (47m 2s): I have old,
Speaker 2 (47m 15s): If he can be claimed to my friends at the very possibility of learning something radically new can only be understood by presupposing the operation have something very much like a metaphor. This is just a heuristic claim that metaphors are often useful and learning, but the epistemic claim that metaphor or something like it renders intelligible the acquisition of new knowledge
Speaker 1 (47m 43s): College.
Speaker 2 (47m 47s): There are no adequate substitution.
Speaker 1 (47m 49s): And for metaphors, I love you, Lord.

Speaker 0 (0s): Well, well, well, Hello. My friends. Did you miss me? I missed you. I hope you're well, a smile. And right now our blue skies, smiling at you or the waves waiving to you who Whoo over here. Hey com take a dip. Water is nice. How about the trees? The trees bending their branches low for you.
Can you smell that? Ah, fresh air for me? It's the salt there,
Speaker 1 (39s): Right?
Speaker 0 (43s): We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another to account for its origin. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint
Speaker 1 (1m 6s): And lo it is our own Arthur S Eddington had a thought today.
Speaker 0 (1m 18s): Maybe you will share this thought AB you have had this thought. Maybe you were thinking of it right now. No, no, no, its not how handsome I am. But if you're having that thought, you're not alone. Trust me. You're not alone. The thought I had was about change, not the kind of in your pocket. No real change, different presidents, Deserts and oceans change.
You can see a, a forest being clear. Cut. That's changed. How about moving from one town to another? That's changed. How about your environment? Let's just kind of expand it out a little bit. The environment in which you live is changing, right? I'm sure you can think of multiple ways of change, but have you thought about this? Have you thought that when you have experienced change, it's not that The subject in which has changed.
It's not that what you're thinking about has changed. It's not the subject of what you're thinking about that has changed. It is your thoughts that have changed. Do you see the difference there?
Speaker 1 (2m 53s): Right?
Speaker 0 (2m 54s): There's a difference. Profound change comes from at things in a different way. And when that is unconscious, when
Speaker 1 (3m 6s): If you do not
Speaker 0 (3m 12s): Make the conscious change, it seems as though the environment changes, the environment is constantly changing. And if you don't take a few moments to stop and look around as Ferris Bueller says, then you won't notice the change,
Speaker 1 (3m 29s): Right?
Speaker 0 (3m 35s): If you wanted to, you could fundamentally change the way you think about yourself and you would fundamentally change your life. Interesting to think about, right? I think so it gets me on this topic of language is right,
Speaker 1 (3m 52s): Right.
Speaker 0 (3m 55s): It's been growing in my mind for quite some time. I feel compelled. I feel almost obsessed with, and I feel like I'm on the cusp of finding something new about our language. I know that sounds egoistic,
Speaker 1 (4m 16s): Right?
Speaker 0 (4m 16s): Translating symbols into sounds, you know, in my last podcast, if you'd get a chance, go back and check it out is called a more perfect logos. And I was doing this thought experiment where I would say a word and I would, I would give the word that I set a color as it flowed from my mouth. And I based that a little bit on the tone in which I use so that the tone of my voice would match the word in my mind.
I believe there was a similar frequency that would match and that would help facilitate a more perfect correspondence and language. I got a great comment or multiple comments on my awesome YouTube channel and on the podcast and this gentlemen was saying, wow, wouldn't that be cool? That this was a game in which I could listen or I can watch your YouTube videos. And then I could see the colors of the words coming out of my mouth.
I thought, yes, that would be phenomenal. Alas, it's impossible. Or is it, how about the advent of Not virtual reality, but augmented reality, would it be possible clearly it would be possible. And in virtual reality for you to see the physical come out of my mouth with a corresponding color, whether it was written in code, I could code the words or code the tone to create the words coming out of my mouth to be a certain color than you.
Dear listener. If we were in a conversation in the world of virtual reality or potentially even augmented reality, I could listen to your flowery rhetoric and decorate the words coming out of your mouth with the words coming out of my mouth. And it seems to me that that would be more of a whole conversation. That would be a symphony of words of two people communicating, but communicating together is that kind of makes sense.
Imagine if I was to respond to what you had to say with perfect rebuttal that either decorated the words you had to say And would that not help us reach enlightenment faster?
Speaker 1 (7m 19s): Right.
Speaker 0 (7m 20s): I think at the core of my concept, I'm struggling with perceptions of words. In fact, are not ideas were ideas are words, it's all sounds or words. So I did a bit of research and I've found that different parts of the brain obviously receive information.
And two of the major parts, everybody knows this is Verna Cause area and Broca's area. However, you know, there is also a third area that is like the angular gyrus,
Speaker 1 (8m 10s): Right?
Speaker 0 (8m 10s): Which actually might be on top of Veronica, Veronica area there.
Speaker 1 (8m 18s): The reason I bring that up is
Speaker 0 (8m 21s): The spoken word, including you, when you say a word or other sounds,
Speaker 1 (8m 29s): Right?
Speaker 0 (8m 35s): According to the research that I did and that scenario, the spoken word, even your own, and other sounds goes directly to the angular, gyrus,
Speaker 1 (8m 52s): Other people's words or
Speaker 0 (8m 59s): A week, or when you recall of a list of words are processed and a slightly different area. Additionally images
Speaker 1 (9m 17s): Are processed
Speaker 0 (9m 22s): In the right hemisphere of the brain. According to the research I read, clearly I should be doing more research and I'm trying, non-verbal the, the images, your dress, your posture, your attitude, body position,
Speaker 1 (9m 38s): The
Speaker 0 (9m 38s): What is, I think this is a beautiful part right here. What is often referred to as the music of language, the tone infliction and the rhythm, all of these alter the meanings of the words we use.
Speaker 1 (9m 54s): Right? And so, and so,
Speaker 0 (10m 15s): And so that brings me full-scale to where we were at in today's world. I feel as if we are on the cusp of some new things, however, what I want to, or what I would like some people to think about is the issue with linear print, the issue with how or what is it, the issue with Social media and how social media and linear print are in my way, devolving our language, whether it's Twitter with 140 characters or a quick email, or sometimes if you have a phone you already have pre-installed rebuttals to text that you can hit with a button that requires very little thinking on that particular subject.
Speaker 1 (11m 15s): You see them
Speaker 0 (11m 17s): One reason in, in my mind for this is because,
Speaker 1 (11m 21s): Right,
Speaker 0 (11m 24s): There's none of the physical imagery available for the body to process. Additionally, there's no movement. And I would like to further investigate movement as language.
Speaker 1 (11m 42s): However,
Speaker 0 (11m 44s): When you process information, when you process linear print in a virtual world and by a virtual world, I mean like in a zoom meeting or a Google meet meeting, I will agree that you see the movement on the other side, but there is something about the physicality of being in a conversation. The ability to maybe it's the olfactory sense.
Maybe it's something it's something that visceral about being there in the conversation that changes the conversation as our world has moved online. And as our language describes our environment, I believe we will continue to see a further narrowing of our language leading to much unhealthier lifestyles, which is perpetuated or maybe perpetuate is not the right word.
It is this idea that we can live in a virtual world in remain
Speaker 1 (13m 9s): It's as if
Speaker 0 (13m 11s): Popular thinking says we can live in a virtual world that is ever expanding. However, for us, its becoming more narrow. Let me try again, clean that up. You can go anywhere you want on the internet. However, a statistics show that most people go to like the same seven sites, rarely going outside the stores, you know, to buy a product you may have heard of somewhere else.
I think that's a gigantic issue for human cognition. We have more people on the planet than we've ever had. And one of the number one problems in society today is loneliness. Even though according to some researchers, you can fall in love with Siri or your computer,
Speaker 1 (14m 10s): Right?
Speaker 0 (14m 13s): It's frightening me is frightening to me to think all of the money being rammed into tech stocks in order to automate the world it's as if a handful of people With the number one priority being economics have decided that we're going to throw out the entirety of human and just create
Speaker 1 (14m 58s): Products made by other products.
Speaker 0 (15m 7s): And that will create abundance for human. Right?
Speaker 1 (15m 14s): Right.
Speaker 0 (15m 15s): I think what we're going to see is a continued, inability to communicate with one another,
Speaker 1 (15m 30s): Right
Speaker 0 (15m 30s): Platforms algorithms and the Castle Walls
Speaker 1 (15m 37s): Right.
Speaker 0 (15m 38s): What do you mean by that? George will Platforms and out Platforms or clearly the social media platforms, Amazon where you go to the store front Platforms algorithms are the ways in which the language is given to us. Algorithms are the way in which some researchers have decided to program an artificial intelligence to Think for us.
Algorithms are a sort of a neural network. However, however, however much some tech genius believes the algorithm to be superior to the human brain or believes that in time it will be. I would like to ask that guy how long it seems the algorithm is limiting and how can any algorithm Become more?
How can any algorithm learn to be more complex than an organism that taught it? If it's, if it's it's a it's programmed to become omnipotent, That's impossible.
That cannot be. You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (17m 31s): I don't know.
Speaker 0 (17m 33s): I'm not sure if people I'm not sure how I got here. You're with me so far. Alright, let me back it up a little bit. Platforms algorithms in the Castle wall. You see it's this, these Platforms and these algorithms that building a wall around us and that wall around us,
Speaker 1 (17m 59s): Right.
Speaker 0 (18m 0s): Is a wall of in Penner, in penetrable communication,
Speaker 1 (18m 5s): Right?
Speaker 0 (18m 9s): The Platforms and the algorithms are changing our speech. And when they change our speech, they change our thoughts. You cannot think yourself out of a prison made of thought, if you are going to streamline the language, if you're going to take words out of the language, you are going to take away solutions.
I've often heard multiple people talk about. And I think, yeah, it was the original founders of Google who said that we're a Google is failing, is in returning search results. Plural. In fact, when you ask Google, it should give you one result.
That's tyranny. They should just say tyranny in everything you ask Google, it should just say tyranny by definition. We can't know. That's where the laughter comes from. Laughter is the mechanism in which we realize we don't know what the hell we're talking about. And if you study hard enough and become an expert in something, you'll eventually find yourself rolling on the floor, laughing because the more you learn about it, the more you realize you don't know anything about it.
And neither did anybody before you laughter is humility. Laughter is the understanding that we, as humans can try to make sense out of things. And that's all we can do. We can not know things. However, we can try to make sense out of things.
Speaker 1 (20m 15s): And that is something
Speaker 0 (20m 20s): We can do with the language, but we can't do it with language. If we're going to keep simplifying it, not if we're going to knock everything down to a 140 characters, not if we're going to try and take words out of the lexicon, not if we're going to censor things that this, that particular censoring and the streamlining of words, they make it impossible for us to communicate. Those are the Castle Walls being built around us.
Let's take you back a little further. If we know that certain parts of the brain process
Speaker 1 (21m 0s): Speech differently, let's be clear.
Speaker 0 (21m 3s): The spoken word, the words I use when I say something that goes directly into Vertica's area or what we have labeled the angular gyrus. When you see an image that could quite possibly be processed in the corresponding area, on the right hemisphere of the brain. So if you're just seeing linear print without an image, you are not accessing the right hemisphere of the brain.
You're only getting a snippet.
Speaker 1 (21m 39s): Thus,
Speaker 0 (21m 41s): We have the three wise men in the elephant. It's a tree trunk. It's a lion. It's a neat.
Speaker 1 (21m 47s): The other,
Speaker 0 (21m 51s): It seems to me that are communication is so primitive on.
Speaker 1 (21m 56s): The last thing that we need to do is simplify it.
Speaker 0 (22m 0s): Let me give you an opposite example that I gave you the example of reading linear print,
Speaker 1 (22m 7s): Which
Speaker 0 (22m 9s): Doesn't have any of the non-verbal in there. There is no dress posture, attitude, body position, none of the music of language comms with the printed linear word, unless, unless are you ready for it? Unless we use something like a manuscript, remember those something you would see in Karl Young's red book may be something you would see Merlin on in Merlin's magic room, something you would see in medieval Europe.
Can you close your eyes and envision one Written in different colored ink, some big, some small, almost like little characters to the REIT, a large drawing.
Speaker 1 (23m 6s): I have a sword of men Dolla. Is that what this is called? Mondalez you know what I'm talking about at that point in time,
Speaker 0 (23m 21s): Even if that was printed, you'd have some visual AIDS to go with it and you would be better able to process
Speaker 1 (23m 28s): The information, the language,
Speaker 0 (23m 34s): Right? If I give you a map and you know, I'll give you a list of the state, you can no the state's, but if I gave you that same map with the outline of the States in the name of them, you have a much better understanding.
Speaker 2 (23m 53s): It seems to me we're going in the opposite direction. No one wants the color coded map with the name of the state's in a minute, if you just gave me the list of the States, just give me the list of the States. And when you start simplifying it like that, you've run into problems. Cause if I give you a list of States without the map, you could be like, okay, a California and Arizona. And because we were on two different wavelengths, someone who didn't know what those States were, could confuse those States with, Oh, well, California is synonymous with happy.
North Carolina is synonymous with sad. That's what these mean. You know, he can get lost in translation And isn't it interesting that it was in medieval times, they had the manuscripts before they have the printed word. Is it possible to make the claim that those manuscripts were actually a better text, then the printed word, perhaps it was the printed word that was able to provide people with an opportunity for literacy on a mass scale.
Perhaps it's also fair to say that that's why it was in fact, the end of alchemy, as we know it. How about the synthesis of the two calligraphy? Have you ever seen someone write in calligraphy? Have you ever seen a, someone who is really skilled perhaps a wedding announcement in today's time or
Speaker 1 (25m 50s): The,
Speaker 2 (25m 53s): The instances are becoming fewer and fewer? However, I would argue that calligraphy is as much of an image as it is a word. And I think when you see that, when you see calligraphy, you are processing that word and image simultaneously on both sides of the brain, Oh, a week are a form of calligraphy might be cursive,
Speaker 1 (26m 29s): Right?
Speaker 2 (26m 33s): Really well-written cursive is beautiful to look at
Speaker 1 (26m 40s): It's so romantic.
Speaker 2 (26m 45s): It's curious, It's thinking of a, a really awesome descriptive adjective that you love. And that's what it is. It's descriptive listened to that word. Descriptive. What does print print, print, print print. It's like a one syllable grunt.
I know a lot to prove on a printer joke. We were to produce out of a printed out.
Speaker 1 (27m 29s): Right?
Speaker 2 (27m 29s): It's amazing to me. I saw a while back, a young woman was on the, there was some crime that was done. She was being, She was being questioned by an attorney, forgot what it was. However, the attorney and in an attempt to show the woman was incompetent,
Speaker 1 (27m 54s): Brought up a letter, right?
Speaker 2 (27m 56s): That had something to do with the case and asked the young woman to read it. And by a young woman, I think she was 22. He says, would you please read to me the first paragraph of this? And she says, I don't, I guess I don't understand cursive. And it was, it seemed clear to me that it was not a woman on the stand trying to Stonewall in attorney. It was an honest answer.
I'm not judging the individual. Well, I guess I am judging her. I'm judging her in the sense that
Speaker 1 (28m 41s): It was the
Speaker 2 (28m 44s): Language arts that failed her. It was the language arts that have failed us. When one can only read print, one can only see one dimension of the world. I think if you really truly would like to have a better understanding of the world is imperative to try and learn as many languages as possible.
Speaker 1 (29m 14s): <inaudible>
Speaker 2 (29m 26s): Does print prefer the robot print is the language of the digital age or Whoo I guess that would be code ones and zeros. However, I, I would throw that out,
Speaker 1 (29m 48s): Right.
Speaker 2 (29m 48s): And then tell me if I'm wrong here, but I would throw ones and zeros and codes and to linear print. I think that you can type out code in linear print,
Speaker 1 (30m 1s): Right?
Speaker 2 (30m 2s): It's interesting. In a lot of ways, translating symbols in the sound
Speaker 1 (30m 10s): Right
Speaker 2 (30m 15s): Speech concept, there is something in there and my friends, there is something there. I hope we choose to move through this world With a new type of language. I hope we can begin to see our way out of chaos.
I believe the only way out of the predicament in which we're in is to explain To elegantly explain, and not only explain, But use the soothing words necessary in order to bring peace to one another. And I think it has to come from language.
So many of us end up in poor spots in life due to the simple fact that we fail to communicate effectively. So it should be something soothing in the idea's you express one, Can try and empathize with people. However, we need to have another form of, we need something else to better communicate that empathy.
On a little side note, I had this idea today that
Speaker 1 (32m 11s): Right,
Speaker 2 (32m 11s): There's a lot of diversity in different people, different languages and different cultures. And when we look to find the differences, we're going to find them and you could argue that maybe that's why we're here. However, it doesn't that make more sense that we are just one giant organism learning about itself. Hey, look at, this is this part of we're like a giant baby playing with its feet.
What is this thing? And the damn toe over here. Oh, look at this thing. And you were wiggling. It the baby's wiggling in the toe on a side note here, something cool. You can do it. If you have a, if you have like a brand new baby, get like a little bell and then try some string on it and then loop that little string around the baby's toe and the baby will kick his toe and he'll make the bell go and watch his eyes light up. Is it, what does that sound is coming from? What does that sound coming from? I think it's a good metaphor for us as individuals. It's not that we're white or we're black or we're red or were yellow or we're a Catholic or we're a Muslim.
It's that
Speaker 1 (33m 23s): We're the body.
Speaker 2 (33m 28s): And it was a great little Limerick that goes something like this, the hands and the feet in the mouth,
Speaker 1 (33m 39s): We're doing all the work.
Speaker 2 (33m 42s): When you started talking to them, they go, you know what? Getting the handset, I'm getting tired of grabbing things. The fact that I'm getting tired of walking around the mouse said, yeah, I'm getting tired of chew and everything and have to swallow the stuff we do. All the work. And the gritty stomach just gets, all of the food, gets all the nutrients. We didn't do anything. So the, the feet and the hands and the mouth go on, strike the feet. Don't walk the hands, don't grab the mouth, don't eat. And then they begin to get weak.
Two days, three days, they can barely move. And it's on the fifth day when they can't move at all that they realize it's the stomach that distributes the nutrients to the LIMS that gives the feet, the energy to walk the hands. The strength grasp in the mouth is the ability to speak 13.
They're connected. They are, the body were all together. You may not see what the person next to you does for you. You may not understand it. You may not be able to understand. Maybe our language is similar too.
Our neural network Maybe our language is the neurotransmitter's being passed between the synaptic gap. Maybe different cultures are different dendrites In our language.
Speaker 1 (35m 37s): As the neuro being passed
Speaker 2 (35m 38s): Back and forth, It would make sense. If have you spoken to someone and seen their face, flush the bumps on their skin rise, Their faces flush the bumps on the skin rise. The beautiful girls that their eyes Oh, George are so handsome. Okay. Okay not that hands on maybe a little bit.
Okay. I'm sorry. No one wants to hear that. Take it easy, George. Just saying we should be like the neuro-transmitters in the synaptic gap. Well, how does that give us any further George or how does that help us with language? Well, the only way to really come up with new ideas and new language is to use the existing language that we have is the only way to do that is to maybe change the position of words and a new metaphor.
Right? Do you know what I mean by that? That's the only way we can come up with something new is to rearrange something old. I'm not going to find helium 12 in the parking lot of an airport,
Speaker 1 (37m 5s): Right
Speaker 2 (37m 5s): Metaphor. It seems as a matter of teaching an old word, new tricks of applying an old label in a new way, if one wants to describe a new insight, how can one do? So, except in terms of what is already familiar, extending the meaning of the known to the unknown, the metaphorical bridging of the new and old is precisely the mechanism that makes cognitive shifts possible.
And for that reason, metaphors function is far reaching instruments for the theoretical language of science and scientific reasoning itself imaginative at large,
Speaker 1 (37m 53s): Right?
Speaker 2 (37m 56s): Right. It's imaginative. You have a logical way of employing the familiar and order to discover what lies beyond the familiar.
Speaker 1 (38m 10s): Right?
Speaker 2 (38m 11s): Generally speaking the interest, the interest of an innovative idea is not that it is new, but that it is old in the sense that it draws upon available knowledge as a source of producing knowledge in this process, previous selections are circulated new areas rather than being invented and thereby reproduced and transformed Invention.
Strictly speaking is a little more than a new combination of those images, which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory. Nothing can come of nothing. He who laid up No materials can produce No combinations. Okay. Let me dissect that one a little bit further. Cause I just cut something in there. Invention, strictly speaking is a little more than a new combination of those keyword images.
So my friends, if you were going to use a metaphor,
Speaker 1 (39m 22s): <inaudible>,
Speaker 2 (39m 30s): It's important to understand this kind of brings me back that this is why metaphors are so powerful. You're using both sides. If you're using the master N the Emissary you're using the right hemisphere, are you using the images of metaphor,
Speaker 1 (39m 47s): Right?
Speaker 2 (39m 50s): With the sanctity in the seriousness of speech And that's whole brain communication. That's the type of communication that gives girls goosebumps. That's the type of communication that makes men want to fight
Speaker 1 (40m 8s): <inaudible>.
Speaker 2 (40m 14s): Yeah, it is necessary to clarify that the novel and the old are not mutually exclusive more over the novel. Can't be comprehended only in so far as it bears upon known facts, right?
Speaker 1 (40m 28s): <inaudible>
Speaker 2 (40m 34s): The very nature of hypothetical thinking requires the sort of semantic cross-fertilization that is typical of metaphors. One can also say that metaphors have a hypothetical nature for, they suggest a possible new meanings in attempting to describe the unknown. The scientist must use terms that are known,
Speaker 1 (41m 5s): Right.
Speaker 2 (41m 8s): Do you see that is another reason why it's so difficult to bring something back from a psychedelic experience. Let me read that again. So you guys that understand that can understand this, the problem for a really deep psychedelic psychedelic trip has to bring something back. If you're going to go deep, if you're seven, eight, nine, 15, 18 grams, you're going to lose the ability to talk for a while.
If you're going to do some hardcore psychedelic journey, remember your job is to bring back something for the tribe. It's difficult because language fails in attempting to describe the unknown. The psycho not must use terms that are known.
That is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (42m 27s): It's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (42m 34s): A completely novel explanation is a logical impossibility. It would be in comprehensible imponderable, like an expressible or unknowable factor, like an inexpressible or unknowable fact. Isn't that funny people always had these ideas of what aliens look like for at the very definition.
You can't even understand what an alien is. Cause this alien It is in fact, imponderable in inexpressible or unknowable fact, The structure of cognitive processes passed as well as present as such that it cannot allow for Absolut novelty, which lacks all correspondents with existing meetings and the overall scheme of things,
Speaker 1 (43m 43s): Right?
Speaker 2 (43m 43s): Four, we can create nothing new. We can only combine or separate the idea's, which we have already received by our perceptions. Thus, if I wish to represent a monster, I call to mind the ideas of everything disagreeable in a horrible and combine the nastiness and gluttony of a hog, the stupidity, and obstinacy have an ass With the, for an awkwardness of a bear and call the new combination called Lila yet such a monster may exist in nature as all his attributes are part of nature.
So what I wish to represent everything that is excellent. So when I wish to represent everything that is excellent and amiable. When I combine benevolence with cheerfulness, wisdom, with knowledge tastes wit and beauty of person And associate them in one lady as a pattern of the world, this called the invention.
You have such a person may exist, such as a person does exist. It is who is as much a monster as Khaleesi block. I should have used a different, I should have a different name. Let me read the two parts again. So it makes it a bit better sense for you. I call to mind and the ideas of everything disagreeable in a horrible and combine the nastiness and gluttony of the hall, the stupidity of an ass with the, for, and awkwardness of a bear when called a new combination, Kaliban yet such a monster may exist in nature.
As all his attributes are part of nature. Do you understand that everything I said exists already, I didn't make up anything new. I just added parts of ridiculousness that are already in nature is not new. It's a new combination, but it's not new yet. Such a monster may exist in nature as all his attributes are part of nature. So when I wish to represent everything that is excellent and amiable. So when I combine benevolence with cheerfulness, wisdom, knowledge taste with the beauty of person and elegance have manners and associate them in one lady as a pattern of the world is called invention.
Yet such a person may exist. Such a person does exist. It is who is as much a monster as Calvin. The formation of new concepts is a product of new combinations. New concept. Formation is not the formation of anything new, but is recombination.
Speaker 1 (47m 2s): I have old,
Speaker 2 (47m 15s): If he can be claimed to my friends at the very possibility of learning something radically new can only be understood by presupposing the operation have something very much like a metaphor. This is just a heuristic claim that metaphors are often useful and learning, but the epistemic claim that metaphor or something like it renders intelligible the acquisition of new knowledge
Speaker 1 (47m 43s): College.
Speaker 2 (47m 47s): There are no adequate substitution.
Speaker 1 (47m 49s): And for metaphors, I love you, Lord.
