@travismayo: A philosopher once wrote: “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” What if the biggest thing shaping reality… is the words you think with? #LanguageShapesReality #Wittgenstein #DeepThinking #PhilosophyTok #Consciousness

During some of my meditations when I get high downloads. I cannot explain them because there are no words for certain things or experiences. Language in general is dumbed down

I wonder the same thing about how we describe time. The concepts of hours/days/weeks dictate our lives, but maybe there’s a more fluid, human-centered schedule that fits our lives better. I wonder how things would change if we didn’t have these constructs, and instead relied on other cues.

Our imaginations goes as far as the words we know to describe them.

Yeah, you can’t really understand certain concepts if you can’t even understand the structure around it, like math. It’s a language, once you treat it as such then it all starts coming together all at once.

Wow. I think I literally just felt a new neural pathway connect on my brain. This thought just opened up a new world for me. The irony

The Internet appears, to me, to be degrading words and language...'everyone' 'no-one' 'always' 'never' 'literally', those words and many others are all but meaningless in an online context.

Sometimes I feel like I see the patterns or solution to something but there's no words to adequately describe your thoughts.

I’m a big fan of the Witt, but that never resonated much with me. Look at drug experiences - often times incredibly distinct and intense experiences, yet awfully difficult to describe, but that doesn’t mean you don’t grasp the experience as much as you grasp laughter

If you can’t describe it with language just do it.

Physics left language to describe the World but use Mathematik instead.

RAE Savage :
Great quote, but does this apply to numbers? We might write '1' differently across cultures, but the concept of 'oneness' seems to be a universal constant. If we all 'speak' the same numerical logic regardless of our native tongue, doesn't that suggest there is a layer of reality that language doesn't shape?

Could not agree more, language limits or expands our understanding of our surrounding.

Are Thoughts only made by words? How about feelings. If you are sad which of course is a word descriping one current state but doesn’t the feeling come before the word?🤔

Language is a tool of the mind and with each word we ask the question “who am I?” Which is a trick because we are something new every time we awaken from sleep.
