Language and Process Intelligence

Language is the appearance of process thinking, socially.


Process language in the social world reflects a core of teachable, inspiring truths about fundamental issues in philosophy. This is why some teachers, when they speak to the class, reflect a commitment to commonsense by using language correctly and authentically. There is a mandatory need for this teaching because of the intellectual crisis of our world. Young people can be sold on the idea that current powers have failed and a more effective commonsense strategy exists. Rand's prophecy for a hellish world has more than come true. Those invested in teaching are already aware that the current rote systems are not solving anything.


Only process language can change people. Using rote and subjective arguments does not inspire change, it alienates and divides. This is because at its core rote can only agree with itself, it cannot spread out, and it has not been processed on an individual level, and therefore cannot be sold. This is why a process teacher appeals to the divide.


If the world was tolerable, language would appear differently. Today's crises have spilled over, enlarged, and created a vibrant, but imposing crisis-language. Again, it can manifest as overly-simple and rote, or new and process. It has burdened the philosopher with saving the world. And he must do this amidst the fall of the western intellect (curiosity curbed by frustration) and ethical subjectivism. There is a new mystical perversion of language within the rote systems, a new language-control, and a new transvaluation that has emerged from randomness. It has, like in N's story, emerged from the need for the weak to control the strong, but it has in our times burgeoned through a kind of uncontrolled, unplanned chaos of words. It contradicts itself and then denies the contradiction. The philosopher's job has never been so important and yet his tools have never been so few. This is why commonsense helps - at least it forces itself onto minds by what it offers socially and objectively - as it is different from traditional hyper-critical "philosophical" skepticism.
