Guy IS IN SF 😎@nosilverv• about 2 years ago

Ok, so a thing that has been BLOWING MY MIND laterly is that people seem to process words first as signifiers, not content. That is, not "what do these words mean" but "what kind of person says these words" (!!!!!!)

@nosilverv Long thread, but this is the essence of the team-words-mean-things vs team-alliances breakdown. I kind of like team-meanings vs team-signifiers better tho! https://t.co/rJXZsu0jQC

I attended Hereticon in 2022, and I had an experience there that made a truly deep impact on me. Getting to the conclusion was a trek for me, so you’re going to have to listen to the whole story.

@eshear re-reading your thread, I'm struck by the word "credible" maybe team-inferences-and-implications vs team-credible-claims

@nosilverv Of course. Words can't break your bones, but a sayer of words could kill you.
