Language, Models of Reality, and Reality Itself. What can we know? #Perception #GeneralSemantics #Consciousness #Korzybski #RealityHack #BeyondTheMap

Two points: 1, how we think, brain function, can apply words in many ways; 2, all our thoughts are opinions, some mapped accurately to reality, some not #GeneralSemantics #SharedFacts

Words matter so much because they are the building blocks of perception, thinking, and behavior; and policy words guide decision and action #Semantics #GeneralSemantics #SharedFacts

'Am I good boy?' The 6 year old asked of the teacher. You aren't good or bad, you're always worthwhile said the teacher. 'You're worthwhile crocodile!' Good kid/bad kid - no such thing yet many think like this. Why? Because that's what we teach them. #language #generalsemantics

Emotional-tribal dominance of our #BrainFunction a huge problem. Image how a slight difference in structure evolution could have large impact... But, our brains are highly configurable by which I mean use of language #GeneralSemantics untapped capabilities ... #SharedFacts.

Our evolved brain capabilities are greatly expanded by ongoing use and further development of language #GeneralSemantics #SharedFacts #BrainFunction #ComputationalThinking

#GeneralSemantics: not the commander of words but concepts for managing how our brains operate using words, including #SemanticReaction where key words (e.g. black, white, racist, liberal, hoax) define and restrict perception, enable political manipulation #SharedFacts

prevention even more important for early screening and intervention; teach kids mindfulness and conflict resolution #EmotionLogic #BrainFunction #GeneralSemantics * #SharedFacts
