Most living humans are actually "ghosts re abstraction". That is, people around them mostly only listen carefully to them re their concrete statements. If they start to talk more abstractly, others may nod & make encouraging grunts, but mostly they aren't actually listening.

This hypothesis could explain why effective communicators in history use specific examples, sometimes to absurd lengths. I wonder if the level of specificity is a function of that society's aversion to abstraction

Would also lead to the concretion of some abstract thoughts. Do you want to end up with gods? Because that's how you get gods

Like, yeah. Is there something that this attention-trust/attention-loan is reducible to? Linda Zazgebski on epistemic trust would probably say no.
