This should be refined a bit.. On rejection of universals as an intensive use of mental energies (costly, thus perhaps 'devolutionary'), the shape of things become clearer to me by exploring the boundaries, finding where something breaks down, making correlating relations. There is just a world with infinite relations between an unlimited set of points (or wave/interference if you prefer), none separable. I've heard universals with this process intrinsically integrated, ameliorative. This is rather subjective, as memos tend to be. ;-)
Hope that is somewhat clearer, I am ok with yours too Gabby. And yes I agree group action is the practical expression of individual liberation. That's been stuck in my head for weeks for some reason and hope it's relevant.

It would have been better to ask how you view nominalisation, than 
teasing for details. I took the meaning to be the inevitable 
progression to rejecting universals by becoming acquainted with the 
rules and through experience learning to reject most of it as over 
simplification. How far one could take that I think is a matter of 
appetite and endurance, for better of worse, and reasons vary. In part 
I disagree with the notion that the words we use are purely 
abstractions or can be ideal representations of cognitive content, but 
that they can convey and influence an amazing amount and types of 
content and experience when skill and attention is applied. As a joke 
I told someone that writers learn to imitate behavior to such a degree 
that gradually no memory or sign of it remains.



The contrasts were my personal twist, but 'different' can be 
challenging enough to ponder whether one could 'should think' thusly 
after all. I am mixed on the matter, there are times of brilliance but 
also times that it seems a curse.

Simplified in the sense of "intuitive" is how I understand Andrew. 
Fine. What I often find  lacking is simple common sense. Because of 
personal twists blown out of proportion and put into bright 
spotlight. To serve a specific purpose of those in control of the 
light switch. Intuitively. Figuratively speaking. Worth giving a 
second thought, I find.



Which is what I did with your question, that is not really a 
question. I mean, one cannot should think. Me thinketh, yes. Whether 
I like what I see is out of my control, all I can do to have some 
sort of manageable access to it is to accept it. Whether and how I 
speak out my thoughts, live out my thoughts, deal with my thoughts, 
is another question, not necessarily a contrasting one.


I'm okay with what you are saying.

    But, should one really think so or merely wish to accept it as
    such? I've asked myself this when trying to sort out my own
    contrasts. IMO to whatever degree you have it undoubtedly
    contributes something of value, though you do have better
    linguistic footing than me and obvious leanings into discourse
    analysis (my lady just finished that class).

    In dealing with memos having humor is good advice, going through
    old things always seems to increase the gravity, lower the oxygen,
    and slow time down. As to this 'Simplified' part, good luck with
    that. :D

        "View as set" is better... Thank you very much, Andrew.

            I think it would be fun to make a new video called "Gabby -
            Simplified". I find it a very nice characteristic to be
        able to
            laugh at oneself. My sister and my partner can do that so
        very well.

                I just found this short memo to myself from maybe one
        or two
                years ago:

                /View nominalisation of knowledge as settled and 
discourse

                about having knowledge or being in knowledge. /

                This may sound awful in English, its original German
        version
                sounds ten times worse. I had to laugh when I read it
        and I
                thought it must have been an ironic reminder or a
        parody of
                someone or something. But then it dawned upon me that
        I might
                have really intended to try and do so. Now I am asking
        you,
                have you been seeing me doing anything like that?
