Confusing Words and Their Implications

 Common Confusing Words and Their Implications

• "making sense"
• making sense depends on the goal (or a preconceived notion, which is a goal in identifying a notion or evaluating a fact based on criteria making it an opinion), everything depends on the goal
• adjective + conclusion
• adjectives indicate criteria used to apply and conclude. It would be virtually useless to only share the conclusion and not the criteria used to apply. It's like calling something bad without identifying the criteria that makes it bad.
• If you are having trouble formulating specific or open ended questions, look at the definition of the word and part of speech of the word and ask for specifications of charststeristics
• my skills of listening to useless people are weak which is a good thing, weak isn't always bad, weak is just a comparison to some standard, what criteria/standard are we talking about?
• It is useless to call someone names instead of actually identifying what criteria we are comparing against,. For example, I can be considered stupid compared to a genius but compared to a fish I would be considered smarter, what are we comparing to? And why should we perform the thought process of comparison?
• Defining a human being
• most of the time we use the limits of the boundaries of our skin sensing the outer world for the purposes of a legal definition
• Most adjectives or made up words to describe a set of ideas or a thought process. When confused ask yourself; what is this word identifying? What mental variable? The answer is found in the part of speech for example, common nouns identified are ideas and people. My goal is to identify the limitations of the thinking process.
• "Eugenics" like liberal thought process or conservative thought process is a adjective used to describe a thought process or an idea
• Another example: "good" and "bad" - these words are just used to express feelings via verbatim and what they actually mean when someone say's "you're bad" - it really means "I feel like you're bad" which has a completely different context, instead of taking it as an objective fact, you now know that the other person has ill feelings towards the presence or idea of "you"
• "forced" or any other abstract word representing behavior
• "forced" is one of those abstract words is a perspective thing - you literally can't tell if someone is forced to or not.
• Don't make it confusion
• think of in terms of words and what they mean to you
• TIP: to identify what the word is describing
• Look at the part of speech. For example, a noun would describe an idea - a person represented as an idea. Imagination, thinking.
• what is thinking? Theoretically Identifying
• Indirect comparison words like "stupid"
• Stupid compared to what standard? This is why focusing on the evaluation used insted of the conclusion is so important. We have been trained to feel stupid and think that something is stupid just bceause someone calls it stupid. To combat this, we must be proactive and vigilant in recognzing and avoiding such usage of words.

 Common Mental Variables:

    Words that describe what your mind is doing.

    It is easier if you think of this as going back to preschool. To teach a child, you must understand how to think.

• Evaluation
• Conclusion
• Evaluation and conclusion implied words: common adjectives - smart (what is the criteiria for being smart, as it does not matter if called smart if the criteria or bar for being smart is so low), stupid (same thing, what classifies as stupid), mean, surreal, etc.
• Criteria
• Definition
• Consideration
• Limitations
• Both physical and mental and symbolic
• Variables
• Mental and Physical
• Objective Measurement
• Measuring Process - What are you measuring?
• Identifying Process
• The process for identifying is complicated. Identifying process has many considerations. This is called identifying one's own thought process.
• Common identifying processes are:
• Emphasizes of Characteristics
• Recognize Specific Characteristics
• Usually when one is taught what characteristics to look out for.
• Common sense
• A euphamism for human-specific impulses that are deemed "justified"

Common Intellectual Invoking Questions:

• What makes you think [insert thought process/conclusion here]? 
• Can we "own" property rights to air space? - When we were young we were taught to identify specific objects using property rights
• Psychologically, when one has to ask for permission too many times they will reach a breaking point in their thinking process leading them to give up on that source.
• What is the adjective [insert adjective here] identifying?
• For example, when  someone calls you stupid, it is not because you are actually stupid, it is rather because the other person is performing a mental calculation of evaluating your presence based on a set of predefined criteria and concluding that you are [stupid] - it implies their feelings and thoughts about you as an idea.
• Ask yourself:
• what you're actually leaning: do these words accurately describe what is going on in this event? Do these words accurately describe what you're feeling? Do these words... [explain in terms of words, linguistics]
• What is the part of speech of this word?
• This will give you the answer to what are you describing?
• Do these set of words accurately describe what is happening, mentally?
• confusion is a real state of mind, those who deny it, are often those who believe in "magic"
• linguistics to solve problems
• 
  

What you think you're learning vs what you're actually leaning.
