We Become Labelling Machines
Our modern environment traps us in artificial loops of language and concepts rather than direct, lived experience. We become stuck in word play rather than resting in pure observation, as our brain instantly attaches labels to things, and we stop seeing or communicating.
We live in our heads, reacting to definitions and social narratives rather than experiencing the reality which is observing this too-ing and fro-ing.
Our linguistic environment forces us into ideological circles as we argue over definitions, buzzwords and abstract concepts, completely disconnected from tangible observation.
Before words, there is a moment of pure observation.
