Title: Communicate using language
Post by: SI on Feb 18, 2023 11:14 pm
IME, everyone around me has a hard time to effectively communicate exactly what it is they are trying to convey, myself included.

Language seems to be part of the problem. You don't need generic psychic readings to figure that one out.

IMO, IME, etc.

I think you communicate quite well through photos and wonder if you are a photographer for an avocation? And what about communication through your drums?

Language conveys very imperfectly thought. Language is often perceived differently than what you want to express, according to the listeners' individual variability, biases, mental attitudes, or whatever. This assumes that the language was correct to start out with, otherwise more layers of uncertainty are added.

I find that often it requires a significant effort to try and have your thought perceived without distortions. And sometimes the bias in the perceiver is such that you  cannot convince them that the meaning was not what was perceived.

Bottom line: language is what makes out humans from animals, but such a wonderful gift is very imperfect anyway.

Nope. I just have photos.

And what about communication through your drums?

The only communication there was to prove I could copy somebody else one way or another, nothing original there, gave up long ago.

People have to start somewhere. I understand the notion of copying someone else. That’s how it starts even the Beatles did that and openly admitted it. I find many of George Micheal’s songs oddly reminiscent of songs written before. Yet I really enjoy listening to him.
