Caught in Our Own Words « how to save the world - 0 views

  • Much of what we believe, and much of what we are trying to change, is rooted in the terminology, the language we use to discuss it. If we want to change our own ideas , beliefs and worldviews, we need to stop using that terminology, because it leaves us anchored in the paradigm we are trying to escape.
  • idea of “reframing” conversations, because as long as you are talking with someone who has a different frame or worldview about a subject, you will never achieve an understanding or appreciation of the other person’s perspectives and beliefs, or what underlies them
  • If you want to change your thinking, they say, you must first change the old-paradigm words and expressions you use.

  • Natural Enterprise can’t properly be described in terms like “competitive positioning” or “marketing strategy” or “venture capital” or “return on investment” because these terms are meaningless to cooperative enterprises that have no need to compete, or market, or raise funds.
  • f we were to measure our collective well-being (including the well-being of non-humans and our planet as a whole), what kind of language would we use, and what concepts would emerge that need new words or new appreciation? How would we ‘design’ a system whose purpose is to improve our understanding and appreciation of each other and to make decisions in our collective best interest? It certainly wouldn’t involve voting, lobbying, corporate campaign funding
  • And how would we ‘design’ a system whose purpose is to optimize our capacity to care for each other and our collective well-being?
  • develop ‘scripts’ of new terms and expressions that, as challenging and even bewildering as they may be to many who will listen to or read our words, will be consistent with a more natural, empathetic, healthy and radically critical worldview of how the world really works, and will enable us to truly imagine, and creep our way towards, a realization of systems that embody such a worldview.

Working with e-prime: some practical notes - 0 views

    "To achieve adjustment and sanity and the conditions that follow from them, we must study the structural characteristics of this world first and, then only, build languages of similar structure, instead of habitually ascribing to the world the primitive structure of our language." Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity.

Polymath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Many notable polymaths lived during the Renaissance period, a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. They had a rounded approach to education that was typical of the ideals of the humanists of the time. A gentleman or courtier of that era was expected to speak several languages, play a musical instrument, write poetry, and so on, thus fulfilling the Renaissance ideal. The idea of a universal education was pivotal to achieving polymath ability, hence the word university was used to describe a seat of learning. At this time universities did not specialize in specific areas, but rather trained their students in a broad array of science, philosophy and theology. This universal education, as such, gave them a grounding from which they could continue into apprenticeship to a Master of a specific field. It is important to note that a university education was highly regarded. A person was not considered to need this broad knowledge to apprentice as a carpenter, but to apprentice in the sciences or philosophy it contributed hugely to their being able to comprehend the universe as it was understood at the time. During the Renaissance, Baldassare Castiglione, in his The Book of the Courtier, wrote a guide on becoming a polymath.[citation needed]

E-Prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    "E-Prime (short for English-Prime, sometimes denoted E′) is a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be. E-Prime does not allow the conjugations of to be-be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being- the archaic forms of to be (e.g. art, wast, wert), or the contractions of to be-'s, 'm, 're (e.g. I'm, he's, she's, they're). Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing.[1] For example, the sentence "the film was good" could translate into E-Prime as "I liked the film" or as "the film made me laugh". The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact."

    Una cita Donc, ce que je crois, c'est qu'on a besoin d'un langage qui soit manipulable automatiquement aussi bien qu'un langage de programmation (qui soit donc vraiment fait pour communiquer avec les ordinateurs), mais qui ait en même temps la capacité d'expression sémantique d'une langue naturelle, de telle sorte que l'on puisse non seulement faire des opérations arithmétiques et logiques automatiquement, mais aussi des opérations sémantiques, c'est-à-dire de relations, d'analogie, de complémentarité, de différence, d'implication sémantique, de relations entre une proposition complexe et le texte dont elle est issue, entre deux propositions qui font partie du même texte… Une espèce de langage qui, quand on l'écrit, produit automatiquement des circuits sémantiques ; une sorte d'hypertextualisation automatique.
