"Korzybski: much of our problem originates in the fact that natural language seems to cross from negative to positive knowledge without noticing the difference. "I do not perceive that she has a cup" & "I perceive that she does not have a cup" seem equiv if we are not careful."

"I've noted before that I think quite a few blindspots revolve around people in a field of science running around seeking out positive knowledge until someone comes along & knocks the field on its head by formulating things in terms of the negatives that can actually be measured"

@nosilverv Yep. Years of training to be able to put my hands on you and then 'non do'. Not doing. Not doing nothing. And my non-doing invites non-doing in you.
