      The worst thing one can do with words is surrender to them. When you think of a material object, you do it wordlessly, perceiving your mental model with a sense that has no name. If you want to refer to it, only then do you render it in words.

      When you think of the abstract, you have no choice but to use words as handles; you cannot perceive abstractions directly. Mostly you navigate these interior landscapes by means of other people’s words.

      This is an error because you mistake their words for ideas, but their words are only symbols for ideashttps://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1025737938682822656 …

      Words don’t mean the same things to different people. When you talk you are trying to pull things out of your mental model and map them into the models of others. There are 4 nodes in any conversation, 3 transformations. Your model=>your referents=>their referents=>their model

      other people’s words are not ideas, they are symbols for ideas. You put someone else’s symbols on your map, and you never bothered to explore there. This is the naive (=default) approach to reasoning A turn of phrase becomes an expression becomes a cliché becomes a cage

      When you already have a map, it is not necessary to perform effortful cogitation, because the lines have already been drawn by the people around you. It's not that you can't think outside the lines, it's just that you won't, without some kind of catalyst

      Try to notice your speech habits, the ones you use when you talk inside your head, in particular when you reason about an abstract topic, such as morality, death, god, the technocapital singularity...

      Take a complex word or phrase in your mental map, and try to explain it using only single syllable words. If you are an accelerationist, I suggest you start with "capital", but if you talk to anyone for a while you will notice there are words they are abusing.

      There are tools for performing a self-diagnostic. Word frequency analysis tools. Locate your most common polysyllables and destroy them. Remove all the expressions and the pretty adornments you borrowed from your favorite blog or author

      Replying to @0x49fa98

      i was just thinking about operations of this sort, ways to deny oneself recourse to the reflexive, habitual courses to which one repeatedly returns, the other night.
