You may not have a linguistic background educationally, but I do (graduate degree in Linguistics)...and I no longer believe my own lectures from 2 years ago. My favorite: Structural Linguistics. Structural Linguistics is the more/less the study of language without the people...so just some sort of potential language for no particular reason...what a dumb "science!" Because the utterance is the observable part of linguistic "communication," its symbolism ends up superceding what it symbolizes.
@tvswnet Isn't that a great feeling though, when you supersede your old ways of thinking? I can barely bring myself to listen to these old videos of mine because they are rather rough cuts of loose ideas I had at the time. Are you familiar with zoosemiotics or object-oriented ontology at all?
@HoloplexProductions Yes, but I had a sort of "awakening," a year ago (rather abrupt and unexpected) and haven't been able to return to my career as a linguist and educator (of education, culture studies, and of course language) since I no longer believe in those "sciences" as now manifested in our societies. I especially no longer want to participate in government programs or academia (it's ALL political, these days)--thus, I'm broke and growing my own veggies, for now 8-)
Why the disclaimer at the start? Does it mean he no longer agrees with any of this any more? Or some of it? Which parts? And why is he no longer willing to stand by it?
@TheSmedleys The disclaimer is there to remind people of the inherent ambiguities within communication, as Charles Fort said: "I believe nothing that I have written". My ideas are disposable, I have no wish to hold onto thought forms that haunt the past. The reference points drawn here have changed as I myself have changed. I dislike the undertone of this series plus it is far too convoluted. Check out my playlist Syzygy, it is more up-to-date but not necessarily current.
@DaSkinnyApe To the mind with its relentless tendency to label things, yes there is always something to be named. Outside the mind there are no labels and thus no separation. There are no "things".
@HoloplexProductions Yes, there is no outside. It's always inside. But when you see a lion, you might say it's a colony of atoms; another person would say it's a big cat, but it's always labeled as something. WHY?
(Contd) a native speaker's comprehension of reality might be significantly altered, in the sense his/her mind would be more open to a wider spectrum of realities and it would be easier for such a person to be more aware of the surroundings. Also Sanskrit grammar is the toughest in the world.
@spyk316 Academics have poo-poo'd the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to some extent. However I suspect that the linguistic relativity between modern languages is closer than that of ancient/tribal languages. Languages are really just codes, a set of symbols used to communicate ideas to oneself and others. Some have much richer vocabulary for certain concepts than others, obviously a lot of popular spiritual terminology can be traced back to Sanskrit.
Top video! I've been studying ancient scriptures of India, whose original language is sanskrit. It is a widescale belief that Sanskrit is the mother of all languages, including Latin. The Germans and French were convinced of it. Its also said that Sanskrit is a highly evolved language and has been passed down from extra-terrestrial sources. Now you'll might think where im going with this but its interestng that in sanskrit some words have multiple meanings, do you think then in such a case,

As far as I'm aware the origins of language acquisition remain a complete mystery, even amongst highly acclaimed linguists like Noam Chomsky. Jay Weidner (modern day alchemist) speculates through the work of English scholar L. Austine Waddell that the root languages are in fact Aryan (Martian), but that takes you down a whole different rabbit hole regarding human history.
@spyk316 Others (such as Graham Hancock, Terence McKenna) have suggested that psychedelic experiences gave way to a linguistic abilities. Leonard Shlain speculates that evolutionary pressures required us to develop language as a tool because of the high rates of death at childbirth due to the ratio between the baby's head and mother's pelvis. Both seem plausible, but it seems to me that language has done more to transform "the World" than any other technology we have invented.
True, also language as I understand (I am not familiar with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis), is not just a collection of symbols but also a collection of sounds. Of course the root language, the mother of all must have been developed with the idea that the words we pronounce have a certain effect on our consciousness. The effects of sound which are basically intense vibrational states have been documented to have an effect on consciousness.
You say what I think all the time on other language. One thing I think about is, there is no universal name for anything. We just name it to put it in a category. In another language, what we call a table, their word may literally mean "device with supports containing a flat top". In spanish, their word for Christmas Eve is "NocheBuena" meaning "good night" because to them, it is. Another word is Medianoche, literally meaning middle night, or midnight.
@fonkymaster the "universal language" is really a proto-language I guess. We can learn a lot from infant psychology before human languages start to take its hold. Having said that there is research to suggest that babies instinctively know their mother tongue even when they are in utero.
@chelsearayl I would think so, if someone is multilingual then they would be more aware of the nuances of different languages. I'm not multilingual but I have non-English speaking friends and you can hear that the logic of thinking in their mother tongue sometimes produces strange English or strange Russian in vice versa. For example a Russian might say "can I make a photo of you" because they are thinking a photo needs to be constructed. The verb "take" does seem illogical I guess. Lots of exmp
@HoloplexProductions Also in Estonian (FinnoUgrish group) we say "Make a Picture". If we use word "take" then it means taking picture away from the person in our language.

@chelsearayl, scientist have found that there are 3 things which demand that both hemispheres of the brain work in conjunction: foreign languages, music and dance. in fact, by monitoring certain brainwave activity, scientists can identify what the test subject is doing just by the brainwave activity observed...whether the person in dancing, singing, playing an instrument or speaking a foreign language.
Thanks for this video. It really helped me understand this subject better! Really, thanks a million!

@DaSkinnyApe Because of the sense of self (localized consciousness), we perceive ourselves as a body within the World rather than the World.

What are your thoughts on individuals who learn and speak multiple languages?
Do you think it changes their thought process and relativity ?
