[@brettmatthews8061]

I could listen to Lakoff all day. He is amazing!

George"s lectures are like a" breath of fresh air".

This explains why language deprivation occurs and consequences are severe. Deaf kids need sign.language to get language, then.learn English. Spoken language has metaphors, like signed language. Once ur brain is wired for language, one can learn more.95% Deaf kids families do not sign. So kids miss that vital time for brain development. Kids who are Deaf [ not just hearing impaired, but DEAF] are developmentally delayed because of lang deficits not disabilities. When a Deaf kid grows up with fluent sign language, they are superior to nonsigning Deaf kids.

This must be shared, and it is urgent.

I adore this lecture, thank you

[@mageorge1955]

Thank you for this. It is a neat summary of Lakoff's work. Do you have the Question & Answer session?

what about this: According to Aristotle, “the soul never thinks without an image”, which, logically, would indicate that our thoughts are always based on images, which, in turn are essentially based on perceptions. Therefore, thinking about something that cannot be perceived seems impossible. Charles Peirce said that diagammatical thinking is the biosemiotics! and are wittgenstein's "truth tables" also a diagram of contradictions? are there simmilar diagrams as wittgenstein's with metaphors? or are the contradictions (dialectic) the same as the metaphors! bread pathway only one way and not reverse? I did find Lakoff because after autopoiesis with system thory and biosemiotics today is gone further with cybersemiotics! there is a course about methaphors to understand cybersemiotics! there I found Lakoff! this path I can not find in reverse! all kind of pictures are the same and at the same time there are differences! as Sartre said: there are abscence and prescence at the same time! in phenomenology it is your experience, perceptin, to choose what in the syntax reading! I have not read gilles deleuze: differences yet! Aristoteles said that for each true topos in the language there is a false topos! then there must be a true logic three and a false logic three at the same time! there is a constant choice in how to interpret all the time! a terrible analysis? who can survive? and I think? to understand Lakoff? it is to be yet more alone? no friends understand? no friends are interessted? what about Lakoff on topos theory and philosophy of religion as system thetory?

What you think is a product of how you think. Who knew Mr. Potato head had such a profound effect on our creativity. 🧐

"Thinking that you're thinking" hmm sounds like a certain Orange leader of ours ( not mentioning names)

[@wovokanarchy]

Lab experiments on Animals is not cool and twisted as fuck. How is that for framing?

[@billy-joes6851]
