The Trivium by Sister Miriam Joseph
I've had mkultra techniques used on me and what they can do to you is unbelievable. You retards going on about guns with ice bullets can give you a heart attack but they can give people heart attacks just through psychological methods. They can turn people into schizophrenics. Sentences or sounds can be used to create great psychological trauma. If glowies ever capture and use mkultra stuff on you, you're giving everything up you know, quickly and you'll be admitting to stuff you didn't do. MkUltra is real boys and they can destroy people with the methods they discovered. research

> What is a woman?

> A real education begins with the Trivium: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. The important lesson of Grammar is not the structure and syntax of a sentence. True Grammar is the natural connection between ideas and words. This is commonly called semantics.
>
> The definition of semantics is "the meaning of words and the changing meaning of words."
>
> This definition is contradictory. A word that has a meaning and then means something else... is meaningless. The study of linguistics has many branches, but none of them are connected to the natural world. Your words are abstract, unnatural, and ever changing. This is not an accident. Your ability to reason depends on the natural connection between those words, which are nouns adjectives and verbs, and the real world.
>
> What is a woman?
>
> Words have denotation and connotation. Denotation is constantly changing but connotation doesn't change unless "they" demonize it.
>
> What is a negro?
> It used to be a black man. Now it is a slur.
>
> What is an Injun?
>
> What happens to words with powerful connotation when the denotation changes...
>
> What is racism? If white people always racist and black people are never racist, what does racism mean?
>
> You cannot communicate with people if you say the same word but the speaker and listener have different definitions.
>
> I speak native American. I mean I use the Webster 1828 dictionary to define my words, you think I claim to speak Navajo or another language of the native inhabitants of North America.
>
> Words matter. Use words with definitions that are connected to the real world instead of whatever newest evil clown world comes up with.
>
> Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric. Question everything. research
> My friend you are unable to think clearly or communicate your thoughts persuasively.
>
> Your reasoning is illogical. Every one of your posts includes Appeals to Emotion, AD Hominem, Tu Quoquo, and False Dichotomy fallacies. You probably don't know what any of those terms mean and that's okay.
>
> Let me tell you a story. Chinese people have a game where they take fleas and put them in a jar. At first the fleas scatter everywhere trying to escape. After a few hours they huddle together in the bottom of the jar. They will no longer attempt to escape, even if the lid of the jar is removed. The fleas have been broken.
>
> A similar example involves elephants. An adult elephant is too strong to be restrained. But if you take a baby elephant and restrain them with a strong rope and a stake driven into the ground the baby elephant cannot escape. Over the course of days, weeks, months, and years the Baby Elephant is unable to get free and eventually stops trying. An adult elephant trained this way can be restrained by a rope and stake. The stake doesn't even need to be in the ground. As long as the rope and stake are tied to the elephant, the elephant believes it is too weak to escape. This is called learned helplessness.
>
> These stories are about you and your mind. Your government spent 15,000 hours forcing you to sit at a desk and learn to hate yourself, your ancestors, and your history. You were not educated. You were broken mentally.
>
> But, my friend, the lid is off the jar. The stake isn't in the ground. You may be a child mentally, but you are only a prisoner so long as you choose to be. It is painful. I'm sorry that you are so upset and unable to think clearly.
> Grammar is not merely syntax - the structure of sentences - it is the natural connection between ideas and words.

6. Read Your Erroneous Zone

7. Learn about narcissism. The entire system, including the rusty iron filings, are designed to create narcissistic tendencies and pathologies. This is a person battle and will help you understand the algorithms in the heads of others... and the fact many are trapped and simply can't help it.

It's too much to explain the structure of knowledge in a couple posts, but the Trivium + Quadrivium understood as Symbols + Logic and Numbers in dimensions can break down and restructure all of knowledge. Again, too much to say in a couple posts, but ill try to explain some more. Note though, that the Masons teach the wrong order, they flip Music and Geometry, its either a test or they are leading people astray on purpose to control them. either way, thats how you do it.
> just to explain a little more, check out the 357 stairs from Masonry, they connect the Trivium and Quadrivium to the 7 layers that line up with the Major Arcana, these are known as the 7 liberal arts and sciences. I think they kind of need a revision in naming, so ill explain it like this.
>
> at the bottom (starting at where you have Fool) you have Words/Symbols. This can be any word or symbol. Above that (layer two) is Logic, which is then putting those previously said words into a coherent order. Next I'd label layer 3 as reasoning, which is putting logical statements together in a coherent order.
> Those first three are the trivium, you can understand all of language through there.
>
> Then above that you would have the quadrivium, I'd say that it has more to do with numbers/dimentionality. So at level 4, which would be Mathematics in the classical quadrivium, I'd kind of say thats Math/Dimension. (im still figuring out how all of this works)
> But above that you would have the last three of music, geometry and astronomy. I realized though that these are just representations of higher levels of dimensionality. So for example Music is one of the classic Quadrivium, I'd say thats better understood as Numbers in 2D. geometry is numbers in 3D, and astronomy is numbers in 4D.
>
> astronomy being numbers in 4d since you need to know not only the position, but the time at when they were. Each later going up

To speed up this process, rather than sounding out these sounds mentally - one should begin to better associate the shape of a word with that mental image - skipping the middle part of this process. (This is outlined very extensively in the following paper by Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ctfonts/wordrecognition.aspx)

Of course, there's no really easy way to do this manually- speed reading books and classes may help somewhat - but I've always had the best results using an online tool called Spreeder. (http://www.spreeder.com/)

Spreeder essentially helps you train your brain to recognize the shapes of words. I really like it because you can level up as you start to feel comfortable. What it essentially does is breaks down a body of text (say, an article, or an ebook) and will break out the individual words - flashing them across the screen - in either word chunks or individual words. So say you're currently reading at 250 WPM, you can paste an article, set the speed to 275 WPM, and select 2-3 word chunks, and these will flash across the screen essentially removing the "context" that you can potentially get lost in.
(Webpage Title: Spreeder - Speed Reading App & Software)
(Webpage Title: The Science of Word Recognition - Typography | Microsoft Learn)

My best recommendation for learning how to read faster is by training your brain to read the "shapes of words".

The slowest rate at which a human can read is the rate at which they read aloud. Most people read by reading a word (IE "cat"), mentally sounding it out (sending a signal to the larynx), and then sending that information from the larynx to mentally associate that sound with the word.

This is explained really well in the first minute of this video:

> I have a simple solution, you can use temporarily as a means to an ends, or permanently. Either or.
>
> I'm sure you have heard of a pointer, just a pen, a finger, or anything appropriate, it requires no special skill beyond what I outline, and some practice, and slowly but surely aubvocalization will decrease to near non-existent allowing you to break the 200 wpm barrier, and double even triple your reading rate.
>
> So first exercise is to pick up a light book, magazine, anything except an eBook, I'll explain why moving forward.
> You start your pointer on the first word, take a deep breath, physically relax, soften your eye focus, then move your pointer at comfortable speed, moving consistently, only back tracking if your focus waned and you missed something. Otherwise do your best to be consistent. The goal is to finish a page in under 5 minutes with a good understanding of what is happening.
>
> In future readings the goal is to speed up your pointer, whilst still retaining comprehension. Interestingly enough, Retention and recall are higher, when you read like this, because you are more focused, reading actively, and seen letting your eyes jump all over the place.
>
> Now to take a step further, you need to keep that soft focus, and focus on getting the meaning of words in context, and the thought behind the written word. If you focus on that as you read, you will find your self reading faster, faster, slowing down,speeding up.
> What does this sound like to you?
> That's right shifting gears.(aren't you so clever, deducing)ᐅ

> The reason for this is not everything in a book has the same level of important, something are literally unimportant. This goes for different kinds of books too, they vary in approach and writing style, so it makes no sense to read them at a fixed gear.
>
> An analogy is, you in your car driving around a suburb. What speed are you going to drive? In a school district? (considering how our little young ones are?). On the main roads, where the speed limit is higher? And what happens when you come across a traffic light that requires you to stop? What about a dog tending too close to the road? And what if your on the high way? And look up ahead high way patrol, its a speed trap. The bastards.ᐅ
>
> Now the good driver, can handle all these with relative ease. So can the speed reader, speed reading is active reading. If you don't want to get caught in a speed trap, then you had better be alert. If your going over the speed limit in a suburban district you had better be alert.
>
> That's what active reading is, and speed reading is active reading.
>
> Now the next part is once you start to get used to reading with a pointer, you can take the next step. Using your peripheral vision, which is basically, seeing the words around your focal point. Left, right, vertically, horizontally.
> So now your going to start 2-3 words in on each sentence, and finish before the last 2-3 words. You do this, from now on when you read, a soft focus and a good steady pace, remember to shift gears when necessary.

> Now we move on to taking in more than one word at a time, this is exciting. The basic breakdown is to separate you page into three columns, by imagining they are separated by dotted lines. To help you achieve the next phase here is a trick from Kris Madden's book.
> Every time you point count 1, point 2, point 3. For each of the focal points of each column. This takes some practice, and some times you'll find 1,2,3 has become 2,3,1 or 3,1,2. That is perfectly fine, what is important is to avoid subvocalizing, and taking in a word group in a single eye fixation. This is a chunking method and is highly effective. Practice this, don't push too hard just try to get the habit. Then you can reduce it to a double column, and point 1, then point 2. Taking in the word chunks as you go. With a bit of practice you will be reading faster in no time.
>
> Now for electronic books, here you can't use a pointer, it doesn't make sense because a laptop or computer screen is vertical, and you still have to scroll down or up. And with a tablet, you might, but that would really require you to put in more effort as to rest your pointer on the screen by accident or intentionally elicits a response.

> So the only logical thing to do is to read without a pointer. That means focusing your eyes, a word at a time, a word group at a time.
> If its hard use the counting to help you get the hang of it. But practicing these strategies can triple your reading speed in a matter of weeks, depending on how often you practice, and whether or not you bother to learn more about speed reading. If you learn more you can end up reading a page with a z or Z pattern, or reverse s or S pattern, or even reading vertically down the page, because you can chunk bigger word groups. You could easily cross the 1000 words per minute barrier, and swim with big fish. But this will, practice, commitment and research. People are making alot of promises out there, you have to be able to determine what works what doesn't, and what is too good to be true. Have fun, I hope this thorough enough to be useful.

When I first tested, before I started working on speed reading at all i tested at 126 wpm. I was really slow and I can remember reading books in class when I was a kid in elementary school and all my friends finishing their books before me. I was always a slow reader until I started to learn how to speed read.

I can read up around 1000 wpm, but I typically tend to read slower between 4-500 wpm, because I like to take my time and enjoy what i'm reading, but if I need to get through a text book or a long description of a mountain and the its scenerary I usually accelerate my speed. It really depends on what I'm reading.

Learning a language is a pretty big commitment. It can take months, and, in some cases, years, to get to a level of proficiency where you can freely express yourself, without falling back to English or a game of charades. Every man on this planet must master, in addition to English, the other big three: Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. Knowing these languages will give you access to over 1.136 billion native speakers alone. If that’s not enough, then you can feel at ease knowing that these languages will easily aid you in picking up similar languages in the same language families: Germanic, Latin, and Slavic, respectively. As for whether it makes more sense to dedicate your time and energy to making money and chasing girls, or studying some obscure language like Faroese (spoken in Faroe Islands), I know where you’ll find me – and it won’t be in that country’s university language department. https://web.archive.org/web/20130824051213/http://www.mavericktraveler.com/the-secret-to-speaking-a-foreign-language-like-a-native/ (Webpage Title: The Secret to Speaking A Foreign Language Like A Native - Maverick Traveler)

> The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Petain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.”

>>> This reminder is apparently necessary:
We listened to our history before we read it. Our brains process speech faster than text. You can look up research on this issue if you want, they’ve been studying rate of information processing via audio vs text since at least the advent of the radio. I did some investigating a while back to defend myself against some fools who were telling me I couldn’t listen to the books required for a PhD. It’s actually far more efficient, for a lot of people. And with training you can dramatically increase your rate of audio speed without adversely impacting information processing ability , recall accuracy, etc. There are lots of studies on this that you can look up for yourself if you want. Not for everybody, obviously, but the usual argument “no learning without reading words printed on a page in a chair” is just foolish. I personally find that I have much better focus and attention to the information if I’m outside on a walk while I’m listening.
Also for audiophile folks, you can check out the app “voicedream” — made for blond people, concerts any webpage / pdf (I’d scanned) / word doc to audio, and gives access to 3rd party voices. Much better than default text to speech nonsense supplied with phone.

The grammar-translation approach is best. The best materials for this are pre-1975 editions of Teach Yourself Books. For French, Spanish, German, and Italian, pre-1980 or so Living French/Spanish/German/Italian are the best options in my experience. Research book Once you've got a firm foundation in the grammar, pick up a reader/chrestomathy... Once you've done these two things, you'll be ready to read with a dictionary.

Only if you also comprehend what you are reading. A book I highly recommend is "How to Read a Book," by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren. After reading their book, the sheer volume of books I was able to read rose dramatically. It had very little to do with speed reading and more to do with defining what you wanted to get out of the material. By establishing a purpose and by spending time up front on the table of contents, then you will have a plan and be capable of devouring the contents much faster than having no plan and simply starting on page 1 and trying to read fast.

So they can read “I am a cat” and understand that there is a cat, but they can’t read “Call me Ishmael” and understand it any more than that there’s a guy named Ishmael, and as the rest of the chapter unfolds they basically get lost in it, since it doesn’t simply and directly explain goings on. That’s illiteracy, not being unable to read traffic signs or whatever.

There are actually books on this, I think one is “How to Read Like a Writer” or something. I’m not sure beyond that and practice (I’m a history teacher, not an English teacher, lol)

Pretty close to my usual reading speed. If I am pushing my right-side-up speed I can hit about a thousand words a minute. My up-side-down speed is never that high. If I am reading for pleasure, I read at a more easy pace, and I can read both ways at about the same speed.

I was taught this skill in a class at my university. We were told that it was a useful skill when seated across a desk from an interviewer or an admnistrator who had his notes or other information on the desk in front of him. The same class explained the power players in local government who did not have power titles but who did have power, who in organizations had influence beyond their position, and sources of information not shared at your own level. A most useful class!

> Thanks for the A2A. I do not know the answer. I know I have experienced bursts of full page reading in which the speed at which I could turn the pages (of a single sided stapled report) was the speed that I read it. Those bursts came when I was actively practicing speed reading for about 4 hours a day. The speed reading course I was practicing was Ed Strachar's "Reading Genuis." I remember being in a round table discussion where I had arrived late, was handed a 6 page report, flipped through it fast as I could turn the pages, then was better able to refer to the report than anyone in the meeting who had read it before me. I also used to get employees angry because they'd type up a one page and hand it to me, I'd read it and hand it back and they thought I was rejecting the report, when I had actually read it all. But that comes in bursts. A lot depends on the subject matter and how logically it is written. If it just rambles it's far harder to do than if the subject matter is logically laid out. If you can find a copy of Reading Genius on EBay or something, I highly recommend it. For some strange reason the original author no longer sells it. But it's only fair to say that even before I took that course I was a fast reader, 500 WPM on non-technical material and 900 WPM on technical material. Top speed, though, depends a lot on how well your eyes work, and you have to optically train to get top speed. > I'm old(ish). I read every word at a speed peaking at 1400 words a minute and average 1100 wpm. I can skip read at a blistering rate. When I was very young, in a world which still hadn't quite left steam, wood and stone behind, I was a rambunctious class clown—school was utterly useless to me and I was a problem for school. A visionary teacher, Mr. Franklin, noticed I had a stash of non-fiction and classics, encyclopaedias and reference books I was secretly reading instead of my assigned list of reading material. Mr. F. decided to take a radical course. He changed my life, forever. For thirteen weeks after school, he used a mechanical projector with a unique design. The gizmo projected short stories, line-by-line as text on the wall, at a distance and size equivalent to the parallax reading a book; split in real-time into three sections, displayed one at a time. It was speed-controllable and I practiced. Boy, did I practice. Every session was followed by a comprehension test. 95% correct was required to up the machine's speed. I found the process irresistible. Many people absorb information by reading one word or even one syllable at a time. For all of my life, thanks to that training, I've read a line of text by automatically starting an inch or so in from the margin and reading the line in three glances. You can absorb more than one word at once. It just takes practice. My reading speed more than tripled. I have no idea how other people absorb information. I soak words up like a sponge. Words speak to me... Language has an internal rhythm and music, numbers have an exquisitely constructed elegance; beauty enthralls. > I love to learn, the process, the benefit, the results, the power - it's a lifetime passion. Voracious curiosity. Respect for thinkers, poets, musicians, artists, masters of language. To get "good" at processing information, I suspect you have to love everything about learning? These days we have glorious technology. In my lifetime, wood, stone and steam have given way to silicon, plastics and networks. I'm in a curious cat's heaven. My home system, built on old, proven, cheap and secondhand tech: > Multitasking? Yup, 40+ tabs open most of the time, music, TV, streaming, multiple everything happening all at once. 45 years of practice. Comprehension, for me—that looks after itself. So, my advice would be: Develop and hone your reading skills; Likewise with comprehension, test yourself all the time; Revise and repeat; Foster curiosity and love for knowledge; See your formal education as preparation for a lifetime of learning, reading; creating and absorbing information; Participate in all forms of media; Practice, Practice, Practice... Have fun! Now I'm retired, I have the opportunity to read, interact, create and comprehend like never before. I'm driven, maybe? My life could very easily have been extremely different and so much more colourless and flat. From deep within my heart and soul: "Thank you so much, Mr. Franklin..." > I’ve been practising speed reading since the year started. I was a fast reader from the start, I used to read about 700–800 wpm, but to me it wasn’t enough, so I started training every day in order to achieve ~1500 wpm. I used AccelaReader as my training method, but read books as “tests” of what I learnt. I used to sit and read a chapter of a book for 15 minutes. After a month of training, I am able to read a chapter of the same book in 2 minutes. My reading speed is about 2500 wpm (the plan was 1500, but it turns out that once you know how to speed read, it just gets uncontrollably faster and faster). Did I lose some comprehension? No, in fact, I gained comprehension. I really don’t understand when people say that speed reading is bad for comprehension, I understand perfectly fine. My memory has always been very good, so I can memorise certain things when reading. And yes, I do think in pictures when reading. It’s just like watching a movie you’re part of. But even better. > It’s similar to asking, “Is being able to run faster than people walk a good skill to have?” BTW, 2000 WPM is a bit slow. Seriously it’s getting a bit close to the speeds at which speed reading breaks down. Speed reading doesn’t START effectively until somewhere beyond 1000–1500 WPM 2500 is about expected for someone who seriously practices and keeps up that practice. Faster is possible. Ironically, the problem with speeds much beyond this is “How to turn the pages fast enough without covering the page or othe

> You have proven time and again that you do not. For example, when me giving you the correct definition of two seperate words, your ignorant mind thought that "pedantic". And did that once again. Challenge accepted. Have another (you). Also, read a book, make one of them a dictionary, and it will change your life. Since your thinking is done in the language you know, knowing even more nuanced aspects of said language, makes you instantly smarter. Take the fucking moronic spanish for example. To them everything is Rapido. "Los caballo esto rapido, las coches estas mas rapido." See to the spanish, those morons only know fast or more fast. But an english speaker, with full grasp of the language knows the diference between fast, speedy, rapid, quick.... "A dragster rapidly accelerates to the highest speed. But a Formula One can get around a track the quickest. And neither one of them is as fast over distance of a Nascar." Try to explain those mental images is some lesser language. You simply cant. You have fast, or more fast. Yet I just told you all three are the "fastest" in a way you can fully grasp because you were blessed with the english language. Use it good sir. Learn it to it's full effect and you will be instantly smarter than 95% of the rest of the world. Best advice I can give anyone.

The OED defines a “toad-eater” as “one who eats toads; originally the attendant of a charlatan, employed to eat or pretend to eat toads (held to be poisonous) to enable his master to exhibit his skill in expelling poison.” In the figure of the toad-eater, then, we find another link between the toad and the mountebank. In the eighteenth century, the toad-eater picks up the meaning now associated with the word “toady,” that is, “a fawning flatterer, parasite, sycophant.” Thus the apparently bizarre act of toad-eating in service to the mountebank haunts contemporary usage.

Harem Financer @haremfinacer: The book, published in English, and titled 'Hebrew is Greek', was written by lawyer, linguist and researcher, Joseph Yahuda, the son of Isaac Benjamin Ezekiel Yahuda, an ethnic Jew and longtime researcher and linguist. Though Jewish both by nationality and religion, J. Yahuda could be considered a Greek-- according to Isocrates' definition of a Hellene, since his decades-long, unbiased, and meticulously thorough search reveals the linguistic relationship of numerous groups of words in Hebrew, Greek and Arabic. Work that was published without fear or hesitation by a scholar whose only concern was for the discovery of the truth.
Harem Financer @haremfinacer: Imagine glazing instead of building neo banks with your boys and living the dutch life. The worst attribute a male can have is high verbal IQ. Ones own verbal IQ can trick you for decades into thinking you have capability and understanding. Only to learn in your 30s/40s your just a working class goy with the ability to perform complex memeis and semiotics of those actually in the arena molding the clay.
Freischütz18 @ToadOfYuggoth: Hebrew and Semitic languages are peak bungle space. No consensus on what roots denote. It’s just muh rabbi and muh oral tradition says it means this.
Harem Financer @haremfinacer: Language in general. No chain of custodian. Even english. All this was formalized recently. So that law as applied to you, the goy is not bungle space. So the bar guild can rape you with precision. Brazil for instance has a supreme court style entity which decides what language is. There is tho, a chain of custodian for Christianson in majority believing they are the Israelites, linear progression of society from there into 'Greek world' ,Rome, ect. Then a broad switch and change around 1940s when the British needed Israel to exist as well as a formal monolithic Jewish identity Hebrew/Jew becoming synonymous is a part of 'Zionism' state craft.
Rand0Trader @Rand0Trader: Highly doubt that, Hebrew is a fake language.
Harem Financer @haremfinacer: No one ever believed Hebrew was real. Recent development.

This is the spirit. At nineteen Scaliger taught himself Ancient Greek, read Homer in 21 days, and then all the rest of Greek poetry in 4 months. If you want it enough, it can be done! Until his death in 1558, Julius Scaliger taught his son Latin and poetry; he was made to write at least 80 lines of Latin a day. After his father's death, Scaliger spent four years at the University of Paris, where he studied Greek under Adrianus Turnebus. After two months he found he was not in a position to profit from the lectures of the greatest Greek scholar of the time. He read Homer in twenty-one days, and afterwards read other classical Greek poets, orators, and historians, forming a grammar for himself as he went along. At the suggestion of Guillaume Postel, after learning Greek he learned Hebrew, and then Arabic, becoming proficient in both.

>>> There are many artificial languages, but Loglan/Lojban has been engineered to make it unique in several ways. The following are the main features of Lojban:

Lojban is designed to be used by people in communication with each other, and possibly in the future with computers.

Lojban is designed to be culturally neutral.

Lojban grammar is based on the principles of logic.

Lojban has an unambiguous grammar.

Lojban has phonetic spelling, and sounds can be divided into words in only one way.

Lojban is simple compared to natural languages; it is easy to learn.

Lojban's 1350 root words can be easily combined to form a vocabulary of millions of words.

Lojban is regular; the rules of the language don't have exceptions.

Lojban attempts to remove restrictions on creative and clear thought and communication.

Lojban has a variety of uses, ranging from creative to scientific, from theoretical to practical.

The following sections examine each of these points, while answering the questions most often asked about Lojban.

"Can you think of any word or grammar that could somehow help someone using it to think clearly? If so we'd probably like to try it out. The English version of saying "no" to your idea for a better grammar is to say, "I have no idea what you're talking about-- why don't you just talk normal." In Lojbanistan our idea of saying "no" to your idea for a better way of speaking is if something's really really out there we'll say, "That idea is really weird-- I'm not sure it'll ever be useful-- I think you should use a three-syllable word for it instead of a two-syllable one."

English laughs at new ideas for how to think, but Lojban seeks them out. Lojban is the language of a culture where thinking is valued."

That is what one speaker of such language said when asked about the usefulness of this language

Hindi Urdu Punjabi Bengali Nepali Balochi German and English.

This will most likely be buried but, I have a story to tell. I am about as white as you can get with a slight Vermontern accent. I speak Fluent English, Hindi, Urdu, and German. I now currently live in Utah and the things I hear are astounding and shocking. See most people in America who speak Spanish realize that its a pretty common language here in the Union. There is always a sense of caution of "maybe someone might know what I am saying.". I feel that this caution does not exist at all for Indian people (If they are surrounded by Caucasians). Honestly how many Caucasian Americans speak Hindi? I will walk into either some restaurant or convenience store or somewhere else random. listening in on to some conversations. most of the time its every day conversation. But, sometimes they are just going at it with insults but, they will smile and change their tone thinking they are invincible (Sorry to break it to you but Hindi/Urdu is a pretty common language in the world.) I remember one time I walk into a restaurant. sat down and proceeded to ask some questions about their menu. The waiter politely answered my questions in english and would turn around and would complain on how annoying I was to the kitchen staff and that I was a bitch for ordering mild. that I would never know what good food is because I am white and proceeded to insult me as he would serve me as politely as possible in English. I honestly found this amusing It is like having mind reading abilities. I find out what they really say when they think no one is listening. I finish my meal and then afterwards when I receive my check I ask him in a flawless Hindi accent "May I speak to your manager?"

he hasn't yet realized I spoke Hindi and still has his "English ears" turned on. and asks me to repeat so I turn at him with a very stern face and slowly say in Hindi "I would like to speak to you manager" all the blood from his face went else where he realizes how much of his shit I must of heard. I then proceed to tell him in Hindi that I speak Hindi. Quickly the manager comes around he proceeds to apologize thanks me for "bothering to learn his culture and language" (He was really nice and awesome) makes my meal free and offers to have conversations with me whenever I feel like stopping by. We became good friends and now I get free delicious Hindi food once a week with a great conversation.

sometimes connote points along a continuum. FROB connotes aimless
manipulation; TWIDDLE connotes gross manipulation, often a coarse

[Message 82] Time: 2023-10-08T14:43:20.8000000-05:00 | Content: Some people like to relativistically argue that all natural languages are equally complex and such comparisons are meaningless or ignorant (or racist). This is false. Children learn different natural languages at different rates (eg. Danish vs Croatian); this has real effects on their education (why are Estonia & Finland—with highly similar languages & regular spelling—ranked so high on PISA, when the wealthier & healthier Swedish-speaking Finnish minority has lower scores?). To demonstrate with grammatical gender; English has very little gender and when an Anglophone learns French, the male/female genders and associated differences in spelling & endings may strike him as superfluous complexity. He’s right. The gender rules, and specifically memorizing what gender each and every word is, are arbitrary and convey no meaning. They are random—a compression algorithm would choke on them.
And we can run a thought experiment (no need to appeal explicitly to algorithmic information theory); imagine a French Prime which is like French but where there is a second gender system with, say, 20 different genders (and accompanying spelling & endings), and for each of the 50,000 words in Dictionnaire de l’Académie française, a random number generator decides what gender it is. By definition, the output of the RNG is unpredictable & uncompressible. All a Francophone can do is memorize 50,000 gender indications if they are to speak proper French Prime. Surely French Prime is more complex than French—all a French Prime speaker has to do is blissfully forget how many thousands of vigesimal genders he memorized. (If this is not intuitively convincing, then let the number of genders go to the 140 of Tuyuca, or 50,000, or however many words there are in a language; the gender rules would be monstrously complex, with no simplification anywhere in the language.)

A borrowing by word-for-word translation: a loan translation. For example, the English expression it goes without saying is a calque (a literal, word-for-word translation) of French ça va sans dire, and flea market is a calque of French marché aux puces (literally “market with fleas”). Contrariwise, the term skyscraper was calqued into French as gratte-ciel (literally “scrapes-sky”). A semantic calque, also known as semantic loan, works similarly but does not create new terms.

What people don’t realize is that subvocalization doesn’t mean hearing words in your heads or at least it didn’t originally. Basically some studies found that people’s vocal muscles moved subconsciously while reading because they weren’t actually reading in their heads they just stopped making the actual sound so that limited to reading at talking speed. But then the meaning got corrupted and people thought that hearing the words in their heads was the same as subvocalizing. That obviously makes no sense because we can all read while hearing the words in our head at at least 250+ wpm which is already way faster than talking speed. You aren’t actually “hearing” them in your head anyway, it’s more like you’re remembering their sounds so all that happens is the neurons associated with the sounds go off and that can happen very fast. My brain is extremely verbal and hyperfocused on phonemes so it’s literally impossible for me not to hear the words in my head but I can still read at 700+ wpm. Unless the muscles in your throat are moving you aren’t subvocalizing.

his is is going to sound retarded, but the answer is just read faster. Actively read faster. Train your eyes to read faster. Take any book and set a timer for 15 minutes. Move your eyes along the page slightly faster than you can actually read and understand it, making use of the Z patter our eyes move it. two or three jumps then next line. When you finish this for 15 minutes, go back and read intently at a speed you can understand in your mind, but be aware that your brain will want you to stop reading actively and will revert back to it's 'comfortable' speed. This 'active' skill of reading as fast as your eyes and mind can take it will increase your reading speed. I also suggest listening to audio books at increasingly faster speeds. Right now I listen to audio books at 2.5 to 3.0 speeds, depending on the narrator. This will train your sub vocalization to speak faster. The goal isn't to get rid of the sub vocalization, but to make it go as fast as your brain and eyes can allow it. We all can listen to much more than the average speaking voice of 150 wpm. Also take breaks. Every section or chapter you have finished, pause and reflect on what you just read. This will increase memory retention.

> It really isn't all that complicated. There have always been naturally fast readers in our world who, without any special training, read AND COMPREHEND 1,000 to 3,000 words per minute. Evelyn Wood in the 1950's interviewed 54 of these naturally fast readers and discovered three common behaviors among them: 1. No naturally fast reader reads one word at a time. They all read multiple words at at time, letting their brain do what it is designed to do: see lots of things at a glance and know what is going on. The words can be out of order or upside down and backwards. It doesn't matter to our powerful brains. 2. No naturally fast reader reads left to right and then stops all thinking and moves back to the left side of the page. Who invented that! Reading direction is irrelevant to your brain. It is a cultural choice. Some cultures read right to left, some top to bottom, etc. Your brain could care less. Naturally fast readers read in a sweeping, backwards "S" type pattern down the page. 3. No naturally fast reader says the words aloud in their head. None. Period. End of story. And you all know it is possible to just look at a word and know what it means. You do it every day with the hundreds of store and street signs. When you approach a stop sign, you don't say the word aloud in your head! Of course not. That word has become a pattern, a shape, an object, that you associate hundreds of behaviors and responses to that happen in the blink of an eye.

>>> Take a step back from everything you say.
Think of the symbolism in your words.
I mentioned this in >>415731280 # with passive conversation.
But mostly with women it's about psych tricks.
Let's say you want to take a woman out to dinner.
Give her two options.
Doesn't matter which.
No "Where do you want to go"
No no, you say "would you rather have x or y"
Women hate making decisions, they hate being in charge. However, this doesn't mean they like being ignored. They expect you to pick up the symbolism in their words, to make decisions for them.
The better you are at that, the more liked you are.
Use the birtish style soft tag whenever you aren't sure. "We should do this...should we not?" Now you flip it back over to them with an opinion asserted. A bit less hazardous.
Think of vague words that symbolize what you mean to say, and put them in your vocab.
You want your coworker to send an email. You don't ask. You go "Hey did you already do this thing?" and when they say no, you say "Oh ok, well it needs to be done at this time, I already did this thing. Can I do anything else?"
You see how sneeky that is? You were the one who was supposed to do something. But you stepped behind the conversation, they're not really going to question it. They're just focused on getting something done, and you already did part of that thing for them. How nice!

Because much of ancient historiography deals with military matters, the Orontes became well-known At the end of the first century CE, the Roman poet Juvenal described a xenophobe who feared "that the Orontes was emptying itself into the Tiber", meaning that too many Asians had come to live in Rome.note There was no need to explain where this river was - any Roman reader knew it, and it could be used as pars pro toto for Asia.

Aside from having no ear for organising information on the page in a lucid way, he doesn't even know how to use an independent clause or where to place commas and apostrophes. Embarrassing. It's certainly clear the guy who wrote this exists in a culture "that is neither oral or literature in its orientation"

philology word

Yep. The smartest women I've met tend to be in linguistics as well

I swear it's your mouth. The downturned corners etc. Dutch people really tend to speak in an manner that pushes mouth corners down and quite lacks exaggerated facial gestures. The way we pronounce words and use language really affects facial structure. Hard to explain without linguistic drivel.

Yeah, this is a wild hypothesis. But as a linguist specialising in forensics, this is my hot take.

19th century German philology, whatever its flaws, represented a positive trend in scholarship toward 'objectivity' (to the extent that's possible), and with its decline it's been replaced only by the willful imposition of ideological lenses on texts ("you need to read theory") research

The gap between the last gasp of this movement (Karl Reinhardt, Walter Otto, Strauss) and contemporary work really can't be understated

>>> The most bizarre thing to watch is an NPC trying to explain to you how they're not an NPC but you are. You can find plenty of examples of this on YouTube. They imagine inner monologue like it's some audio for visually impaired people: 'I go to the fridge', 'Bob looks sad' and so on. They don't understand the monologue isn't just to describe stimuli, that it is a level of abstraction above it. Without such an abstraction you don't have an inner critic to scrutinise your own thoughts, you're merely just reacting to stimuli. People being raising glued to phones and listening to podcasts/music/youtube for many hours a day are actually preventing their own thoughts and monologue from developing. It's not just attention span, these people feel genuinely uncomfortable in long periods of silence. Even technologically clueless boomer NPCs feel some weird comfort from the continuous drone of the TV or radio. To me it's frankly bizarre to imagine someone gets discomfort from not having other people's thoughts beamed into their brain. I like to read in the evenings and listen to audiobooks while working out or doing chores but... there are plenty of days where I'm happy to reflect on my own thoughts for hours at a time in complete silence or the sounds of nature in the background. Anyone that is incapable of doing that is an NPC. Also it's very easy to troll NPCs, since they can't use their inner monologue to get out their thoughts privately, things that annoy them you can actually see them have a hard time actually trying to suppress their emotional state: because they can't just say in their mind: 'what a dickhead', they have to vocalise it. Speaking of inner monologue and NPCs, it's very easy to tell who on 4chan has an inner monologue and who doesn't just by the way they write their posts. The posts aren't necessarily "high quality," but people who have an inner monologue can get their message across more clearly than people who don't. People with inner monologue also use greentext more often. It's not even writing style. There's a point where you recognise you're not reading someone's actual thoughts but someone that's just repeating someone else's. Lots of little subtleties like programming for NPCs will use phrases like "we are in a climate crisis, we should ban fracking now" rather than: "I think fracking is bad for the environment and should be banned". Pronouns like "we" instead of "I" and there is no reasoning, only alarmist statements and commands.

Fun fact: “Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes” is a historical Latin phrase usually translated as “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”, or more accurately as “I am wary of Greeks even when they bring gifts”. This is in reference to the Trojan Horse, which is why it’s paired with the explanation of having posed as a mercenary to infiltrate the camp.

The lesson you are trying to teach me is not the same one I am learning

There's an essay called "Against Smarm" which identifies something like what you're talking about: blithe, afraid to challenge or confront and so thus dependant on opaque language and euphemisms.

But the medias are not solely to blame. Digital connection has not made people smarter.

You aren't good at debating. If you were, you would never have this problem. My best recommendation is you debate people online first before you try to argue with people irl. I've become a great debater with Muslims by this tactic alone because I've tried and tested all different kinds of arguments, and I usually know what kind of arguments they'll make. Also, learn their side as well. Be capable of arguing against Marxism by actually knowing what Marxism is. It'll do you no good to barely understand their philosophy. You need to read, read lots. I personally have to walk usually most every day for about half n hour, so just download a speech, interview or discussion and listen to it. I've absorbed ludicrous amounts of information that way alone. Also, argue on moral grounds, not logical grounds. Liberals don't respond to logic, they respond to morality. Don't say: "minimum wage is bad because it drives up the prices of goods in a market." say this: "do you seriously believe that undesirables shouldn't work and should have to pay more for their goods? Because of the minimum wage, you're literally forcing employers to fire people they can't afford, like single mothers and young black people". Easy stuff, if you need more tips, just ask.

>>> Now, if you're still asking about DEBATING in itself, then that's a question of style. You won't find out how to do this from a book; you have to see it in action, and try to replicate it until you're good at it.

Research

> Read Biden's inaugural address compared to Kennedy's address and the difference is stark.
>
> Biden's is structured almost entirely as one off sentences. The way the transcript is written on the whitehouse website uses big spaces to break up the text, which reflects the way he spoke. It's not difficult to see Biden's speech was purposefully written for short attention spans and maximum tweetability.
