Words evolve in use, organization and meaning

Words evolve in use, organization and meaning
Much in our own language would be misunderstood by someone from two or three centuries ago and the reverse is also probable.   The evolution today is so speedy that we need subtitles to understand diversities of speech in our own languages
Language itself is hardly fixed whether general or specialized
Think about what words really are
While dictionaries assume the meanings of words, they do not stress the underlying nature of words
We use words to say what is literally on our minds

We think in signs - in the realities that float up within us and that we describe or represent in words
We may not have the "right" words but they are the necessary bridge to the formation of thought
So individually and socially we evolve words and language to complete thought
The phrase "take care" became almost universal after the 1960s, indeed I date it to when the Cat Stevens song "Wild World" appeared with its premonitory thoughts.
The endemic use of the metaphoric word "like" dates from the last few decades - it was never common in colloquial speech when I was younger

The two terms noted carry larger meanings than their brevity would suggest 
Words are evolving at a rapid clip and this is yet another reason why the notion of a static book is less and less tenable  
We are merely becoming more aware of a phenomenon which has most probably accelerated over time
 We are aware both of language's evolution and of our capacity to affect and influence it.

The Abundance Hypothesis - Round One

The Slow as Molasses Press
Abundance is inherent in Reality
This is the prime hypothesis that can move  us past the wreckages of communism and capitalism
Abundance is the energy and availability of all that exists including us and all matter
Past ideologies have assumed that we must harness and secure finite wealth by means of political power and armed might

Past legal systems have lodged ownership either in states or in the coffers of individuals
Past legal systems have protected and hallowed the notion of property as wealth
Past legal systems have given individuals and the state immense power to deter any violation of the sanctity of property

There can be no justice on earth until it is conceded that reality is inherently abundant
Until we concede that reality is inherently abundant all false justifications of ownership remain sanctified and an excuse for violence
Virtually our entire history can be explained as a gloss on the false assumption that there is not enough to go around
The anomalies of the present are due in large part to the fact that people are becoming aware that it is within them to create abundance
The collapse of all present systems awaits only the playing out of the abundance hypothesis by millions of iterations all over the globe

Mystery is what we do not yet know

The Slow as Molasses Press
Mystery is what we do not yet know
Any sign that presents itself is a candidate to become a hypothesis
Anything mysterious to us can and should be considered
Consideration is the conscious mind's process of submitting signs to criteria
When a sign meets criteria the stage is set for expression, action, or both
The entire conscious mental process is the formation of hypotheses
The aim of all hypotheses should be beauty and truth 
Ethics should always be part of the index of criteria for considering a sign

Ethics provides a spectrum for determining the universality of any hypothesis
Ethics provides a spectrum for determining the value of an expression or action or both
The entire conscious mental process moves from reality through ethics to aesthetics which describes both expression and action
We differ from nominalists because we concede no finality to mystery
We believe that all shall be revealed and that progress lies in the strength of our hypotheses

We are in the midst of an evolution of words

The Slow as Molasses Press

We are in the midst of an evolution of words
Words evolve in use, organization and meaning
Today's evolution of words moves toward a single language
The single language will mainly evolve, created by multiple iterations
Elements of all existing languages will have a place in the main evolving language
The evolution of language relates to the evolution of communication
The evolution of language relates to the evolution of mobility
The short form will dominate
The long form or text will gradually replace what we call books
The long form will be iterations of the themes and intimations of the short form
What we call books will survive as escapist modes of supposition
Words will more and more seek to capture what is true
What is true is the reality of actual experience
Words are merely one means of expressing truth
Words can be used to create fictions including imaginary worlds
Fictions and imaginary worlds are reality as is all else
What is universal is what proves to possess universal validity
The evolution of words is the natural result of already common universal languages
