Were people's lives in the past less rich because they didn't have at their disposal terms like "existential", "projecting", "narrative", "self-conscious" etc.? Are those terms enrichment or a cultural pollution?
>>18003177Yeah the drought and resulting failure of harvest weren't threatening their livelihoods and lives because they didn't know those big smart words.
>>18003177They just used different words to describe these concepts. Instead of projecting they would say why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye, but pay no attention to the plank in your own eye and so on.
>>18003218why is that dude carrying a horn?
>>18003234Retarded tranny who thinks he can steal millions of dollars worth of rap music from someone, their video game website, gangstalk them, rape their mind with remote neural monitoring tech, threaten, harass, terrorize, abuse etc someone constantly online and in real life with their retared tranny cult then claim they're the speck and their victim is the plank. You're the plank retard
>>18003234being an oldfag and having some experience with people, I believe such argumentations resulted in way more broken noses than honest introspections
>>18003177Most people would use religious language in a religious context to discuss these things. Some people would use occult langauge in an occult context. And somewhat fewer would discuss it at a university using more modern terms.
>>18003177People couldn't process as many emotions verbally. For the upper tier of IQ it makes experience less rich because they already had complex feelings in need of expression. The expressions were more varied and artistic, for example you could learn ancient and foreign languages to express complex concepts not present in your own language. You could write love poetry or communicate physically. For the lower IQs, modern language is highly practical and encourages them to feel emotions that were barely perceived.
>>18003254Probably to call the peasants to attention.
>>18003276Take your medication Steven.
No. Thinking in abstract terms sometimes leads to cultural pretentiousness.
>>18004149>nonsense bump from page 10 why do "people" do this?
>>18003177Their lives might have been less self-aware. Seeing that self-awareness is often crippling and only rarely yields positive results in the general population, I think their lives were just fine in terms of richness.
