Fundamental language shift - reflects reality
« on: March 31, 2020, 10:42:14 PM »
Once you see it, you can't un-see it.

Listen around you how people talk. Count how many say, "I think..." "I think that..." and how many say "I feel..." "I feel like..."

And I'm not talking about cases where it's called for, to describe actual feelings (which are quite real, let's face it -- humans are part animal) such as "I feel great", "I feel like a third wheel", "I feel left out", etc.

More like liberals saying, "I feel like Trump is just..." or "I feel that Trump isn't giving undocuмented immigrants a chance..."  They actually betray how they came to their conclusion! Feelings, completely pulling it out of their butt -- ZERO reasoning, brains, or facts were involved in reaching their conclusion. It's all about THEM and their SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS.

It is evidence of a fundamental shift away from our higher nature (reason, free will) and a movement towards our animal nature (feelings/emotions, appetites).

We share appetites and feelings with the brute beasts -- our intellect and free will are the faculties that make us like the angels -- how we were created "in God's image".

P.S. -- Put this down for one of my biggest pet peeves. It annoys me the more because I know how fundamentally perverse it is (as I just explained).

"I feel..." "I feel..."
Indeed. I encounter this even teaching people math. "I feel this is the answer…" etc.

I have heard this for many years.  It used to be that those who would say they feel this or that were women, not that all women based everything of their feeling about a matter, just that at one time I never heard men using that terminology.  I think this language shift is largely due to the feminization of Western society as men are becoming more prone to say they "feel" this or that about objective matters.
