The facile use of common language to denote or characterize natural phenomenon is confused, wrong, and comprises a deceptively attractive category error. These errors, hidden in common activity and traditional ‘ways of thinking’ that are not actually thinking at all, are shotgunned through our experiences and expectations of language… particularly English, which, in modern usage, has become vulnerable to this. I refer to this process of departure into flat ‘dominative’ language artifacting.
The order of natural phenomenon is uniquely distinguished from the orders of human conception and concern, and the nature of this distinction is one of origin > derivative. In our common habits and relationships with language, we blindly invert this, pretending that the derivative dominates and overstands its own origins. Correcting this specific error … will not only repair your mind and capacities for intelligent thought, it will grant immunity from other similar vulnerabilities, compulsions and ‘word damage’ that today comprise the majority of our experience with language. Nearly all of it is fundamentally misfounded.
