A New Label (the FUNNY G-rated version suitable for children)

Kara made a new video (featuring Sophie Freestone... well, more or less). It is an extension of the "new label" conversation (linked below) which is basically about how labeling is just a way of relating to something, as in a REFLECTION of a particular subjective perspective. Further, language ALWAYS involves labeling (as in a particular way of relating to or identifying with life).

So, I made up a story to illustrate that (which is below) and Kara took my story and made a silly skit out of it. Here is Kara's skit regarding how different perspectives can correspond to experiencing some part of life as amazing, terrifying, or boring.


This is the continuation of a conversation that started on Carl Freestone's facebook page and the full conversation is located here in full:

Here is the relevant portion of it:


I am reminded of a story Nathan Freestone recently told me about an amazing new skateboard ramp at the skate park in Snowflake. It is about one foot high and four feet long, he said, and totally amazing. Sophie Freestone also told me about a terrifying new skateboard ramp at that very same skate park in Snowflake. She said it is about one foot high and four feet long. So, I asked Jaron about these two new ramps at the skatepark and he said that there were not two new ramps, but only one. I asked him if the skate ramp was terrifying or amazing, because obviously it could not be both. He said that the new ramp was actually rather boring. It was only about one foot high and maybe four feet long- and of no interest to someone of his competence in skateboarding. I simply can't make any sense of it, but Sophie did say that Jaron should definitely stay away from that ramp and in fact should not even mention it to her. Apparently, she was pretty upset one time when Nathan used that ramp, but fell and started crying. Nathan said "yeah, I did fall once and cry, but I was just going too fast that time and now I am more cautious with that ramp."


Now this is all an outgrowth of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW9BcrOg0vg

which is VERY different (and not suitable for children).
