Landing Language

"the story of separation" is how charles-eisenstein frames THE issue.
- how to make this land?
  - imaging yourself to just exist, most people would feel alone.
    - there it landed in a way where you have now a place in your experience to look for this story of separation
from Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W Watts
- ...associating it with the noise man. When we say, “This (pointing with the finger) is a man,” the thing to which we point is not man. To be clearer we should have said, “This is symbolized by the noise man.” What, then, is this? We do not know. (Location 413)
- why we need language that lands
its about realizing that its now all just a language game.
you could say philosophy is about making things land.
- the love of wisom is that because wisdom lands
a landing language make the movement clear
- humility is the hold back of strength than the lack of strenth
- courage is facing your fear and not avoiding your fear.
naming has a likelyhood for not landing
language becomes material
naming things is about making things land
landing language creates clarity
cleverness is rarily used with the intention to induce clarity
"fictions", "figments of our imagination", "social constructs"
- what are these sentences trying to say? these words function, figments, constructs our used very lazily. not examined and explained. they use these as meme as they exist in our cultural landscape without investigating how They land in individuals. it's as if they want the meme as is exist in the cultur to affect the individual. as we know from reading.the-evolution-of-culture that culture is full of antirational memes it's basically swaying these memes unconsioucly. that is the effect we have when we only operate from a egocentric stance.
thought terminating/reducing/ending terms
- terms that don't leave questions
Words can make hopelessly complex ideas intuitively simple --- or make simple ideas look like a complicated jungle of knots and swampland.

'Language is a monstrosity past a certain lack of embodiment.' In Lacanian terms, 'discourse' (justification) is caught between an impossibility and an inability; I cannot (impossible) express the truth of my desire at the place of the other; the other cannot (inability) receive it. A prior needs to be established, and made contact with, an anchor point, body, 'process', mutuality etc. to have a chance at a 'decent misunderstanding'.
