As a verbal thinker, I’ve been feeling mentally contained within the flawed and insufficient vocabularies of modern languages.Have you ever felt that way in your countries?
>>214427232No. If I recognize that a concept I've thought of doesn't have a word-container for it, I just make a new one immediately. Language is fluid enough to allow this.
>>214427232yes. When I read old stories, I am often amazed by the breadth of meaning they can achieve that you just cant today without sounding like a big fat phony. >>214427955I wish I was this powerful. often without a container, my mental liquid tends to leak faster then I can fill it.
>>214427232Have you tried learning more words
>>214427994I don't think the liquid actually leaks anywhere. It flows constantly with lots of little whirlpools and currents in it. Our speech is attempting to go in a straight line through that liquid with as little cognitive effort as possible, and it's simply much more effective in the majority of cases to use old whirlpools and currents to communicate your concepts to communicate with less cognitive energy expended. 99% of newly conceived concepts don't justify the creation of new containers, just the repurposing of old ones. If you regularly encounter resistance in that fluid when trying to communicate an idea, it very naturally forms justifies its own container and therefore word to save you effort when communicating the concept later. I do this. You do this. We all do this. Conscious thought only really expedites the process a bit, though sometimes it isn't worth forcing. I feel as though many people forcibly create/use containers when there is no need for them, and then they stop sounding human and start sounding like a lizard man.
>>214428537Well, my ESL is showing in this post. I want to murder in cold blood everyone who speaks this accursed language natively, you don't suffer.
>>214428596Couldn't imagine learning another language
>>214428615You don't have to.
same
>>214428070some (i.e. 99,999%) concepts aren’t formulated yet
>>214427232
>>214428537extremely metaphorical cope for sheer incompetence and reluctance to innovate
>>214432136I combine both the visualization and intravocalization capcities for optimal results though
>>214428537I think that makes sense to a degree, trying to find the line of least resistance in clouds of connotations and associations. something you can often "triangulate" by using a few simple words as points of reference.>>214428596Better to try as an esl then to not try at all.I am efl and I can still sound like an esl if I get too wordy and confuse myself.>>214432136I feel like I vacillate between the two. sometimes I can think super abstractly, disconnected from verbiage, other times I feel like I can only think straight in terms of words. Its a funny feeling to have, being trapped in one cognitive flow when you know you are capable of the other.
>>214432136Name 5 cerebrations irl without resorting to muh superscience people like “Nikolai Tesla” or “Albert Einstein” although I’ll take any other kind of historical figure including philosophers.
>that flag>that postyou speak one of the most complicated modern languages, how much more do you need?
