The beauty of definitions

[Davino]

Lately I've found a joy in finding definitions for words and concepts, even though I might already know them, it gives extra precision and sometimes historical background. 

There's also something profoundly beautiful about a great definition.

Me too, I normally do it because I wrote poems. It also helped me to express lately about truth, beauty, and existence

This might just be me right now, but I am not having a great experience with thinkers, and I have Ti myself in my personality.

I'm realizing there is no Artistry section on this forum.  It should probably be added to this subforum.  I'm talking about artistry as conscious creation.  And this involves intellect because process is intelligent.  When you do blah that is intelligent.  What Artistry is about is becoming more conscious of what you do, and this involves reflection and awareness which is intelligence, even though it is not abstract categorization or classification.  Tying your shoes is intelligence!

i tried tellin people, the [it] thing is gonna be words, concepts, definitions ~ function, form & meaning...

Its just a matter of time til everyones on the same page, for you need letter/words for everything, thus the-thing-itself = words

In reconciling past, present, future... words... Writing songs and need to not name everything "New Song 5"?.... inventing ideas, or wat about programming on comp, you need text, i e., words implemented, or u gota weird, wordless engine that dont make sense (it wouldnt make sense trust me)

Words are like, a requirement you didnt know how much you needed until it was needed nd its like, Oh shit, you actually need that for everything...

The words are the first layer of the engine to life, wherein prior to its just like, pure libido realm or something... But once livido world fades its back to words again, libido vs words.

This piqued my curiosity. What is Artistry to you? What would the Artistry section be for, can you elaborate a bit on what you would want to see there?

[Joseph Maynor]

I think some of us think in terms of narratives.  So when we have a direct experience, that narrative has to be catered to, kind of like a rider on our back.  Everything directly experienced has to be "made sense of" very fast in terms of that narrative we have a vested interest in.  And we all do this, but it is kind of a bias too.  It is a need to reduce direct experience to understanding, and then to privilege or vindicate that narrative in light of any experience.

This is what I struggle to share with everyone.
