oh I talk to anyone who's willing to listen about my ideas. The difficulty is that I can usually only talk about the pieces instead of the whole, since the whole is difficult to comprehend without the pieces.
If your understanding of existence is that reality acts upon consciousness the same way a prism splits light, then perhaps "I'm building generic yet personalizable endpoints to the subconscious to enable people to feel more & trust their intuition" would suffice.
Otherwise, perhaps starting from "language & how we function as humans is part of the lie of society, & the lies embedded within language act upon intent the same way gravity does to light, causing a disconnect between intent & outcomes in a way that consistently benefits power accumulations"? This one is the reason it's so hard to talk about it. I swear there's hardly any concepts in English that aren't "near misses" of what they refer to, warped to accommodate the perspective of power.
Oh that'd be a good place to start! So what I would consider to /not/ be a "near miss" is any concept that creates what I'm calling a "reciprocal contrast". This would be like light/dark, love/fear, hot/cold, etc, where more of one necessitates less of the other. The perspective of power is a reciprocal contrast vs the perspective of experience. Using Pops for "perspective of power symbol". This contrast is useful for discerning whether someone prioritizes power or experience & is therefore a great indicator for their relationship to hierarchy.
Pops is the pattern embedded into colonial language that causes people to prioritize power & give it the benefit of doubt. Its function is to replace relationships of reciprocation with transactions, which replaces internal motivators with external. This narrows the window of tolerance in relationships, which when combined with economic pressure is a recipe for resentment, control, & disconnect. It's why I say the function of money (transactional) is to replace trust (reciprocal) as the glue of society. It's also why I say relationships are engineered to fail under colonialism. Genuinely believe we can't unify without addressing this.
