If you’re using words to describe what what’s going on – ditch them right away.
To see what’s going on, you must ditch the word of what’s going on, of what you’re looking at.
The reason for ditching the words you use to describe what’s going on is because full knowledge manifests only when we use words with the full knowledge of what they mean.
The challenge is that the internet gobbles up and disseminates more words faster than anything invented for that purpose before — including writing on paper, the printing press, telegraph, typewriter, telephone, radio, TV, and computer.
Over a million words in English alone, that’s more than any word-user can know the meaning of.
The solution to not knowing what’s going on is so simple even I can do it.
1. Ditch the words you don’t know, or that you are not sure about.
2. Use only the words you know beyond the shadow of a doubt instead.
Everything you know is a word.
That means what you know are a few thousand words at the most.
A few hundred if you use for the rest of the year only the words you’ve already used repeatedly since January 1st.
