Science and Our Words

<p>We are in the Scientific Era it is said.</p><p><br></p><p>But are we scientific in all possible areas or are we scientific in only some areas?</p><p><br></p><p>This author proposes that our words for instance can be divided into three areas: Object-Words Money-Words and People-Words.</p><p><br></p><p>Furthermore we seem quite advanced quite scientific where our Object- and Money-Words are concerned but way way behind where our People-Words are concerned.</p><p><br></p><p>Perhaps this is because of the philosophical questions tied to free will and determinism.</p><p><br></p><p>This author contends that our People-Words are almost always oriented to free will whereas the words tied to either Objects or Money are oriented to determinism.</p><p><br></p><p>These free will People-words then play havoc in our lives with respect to anger shame and blaming of others the author proposes.</p><p><br></p><p>And so this book although short seeks to fill a big gap that perhaps no other philosophers seem to have adequately addressed: </p><p><br></p><p>If we are scientific-minded and see even people as Determined why then hasn't Mankind made far more progress in the area of personal strife? </p><p><br></p><p>Perhaps the answer has to do with having a BIG-Picture view of determinism as active but when it comes to the rubber meeting the road our WORDS we are not IMPLEMENTING this philosophical concept?</p><p><br></p><p>Because our words are still free will oriented when it comes to people?</p><p><br></p><p>The author further attempts to address WHY our People words are still so utterly oriented toward free will even today.</p><p><br></p><p>He maintains that this is a critical concept to address: that yes Mankind is suffering from poverties including financial poverties health poverties security poverties and more; but what about WORD-poverties?</p><p><br></p><p>Indeed might our seeking of Power be a seeking for power based on what the author would call EXTERNAL</p><p> powers rather than INTERNAL powers? And that a PRIME FACTOR in INTERNAL power is the POWER of having HIGHLY USEFUL WORDS words that have been RE-TOOLED to be DETERMINISTIC - in the area it is needed - PEOPLE? Words that are like Kryptonite because they have no slant toward free will?</p><p><br></p><p>The author has a rather unique set of experiences to bring to this topic including having grown up his first four years of life having heard almost no words spoken compared to most people: his immigrant grandmother basically raised him without speaking to him during his waking hours of these first four years due to her knowing no English and his parents not wanting her to speak her native tongue of German. Their first substantial conversation in English had happened when he was thirty when she had by then learned English.</p><p><br></p><p>Additionally his father taught English at the college level for many years. He also has extensively studied Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at West Point and Berea College respectively and then used these skills to deeply analyze language. Finally he utilized software called SuperMemo to accumulate 160000 electronic flashcard notes over a fifteen-year period.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
