I need to start inventing words for concepts that don't have words

[6ft4]

I'm tired of having to construct extravagantly long sentences to explain or describe something that could explained much easier by inventing my own words

Firstly my native language is not a language that reflects the concepts inherent to my mind and soul as it was enforced upon my people
My Irish teacher used to frequently say how irish was such a rich language in terms of descriptiveness, but I can't learn that shit and never will due to having too much trauma associated with the environment in which I attempted to half heartedly learn it, hearing Irish words and phrases I recognize literally raises my cortisol.

This geez speaks about how English is being tampered with because it's been chosen as the language of the world and it is going to continue to devolve and be dumbed down



If concepts are eliminated from language, these concepts will cease to be expressed thus cease to exist in the minds of the general population
The more words and concepts that are eliminated, the more restrictive thought becomes, the less capable you become of breaking free from assorted boxes.

My first inklings about what may be a deficiency in abstract thinking came from what I began to learn about African languages. In a conversation with students in Nigeria I asked how you would say that a coconut is about halfway up the tree in their local language. “You can’t say that,” they explained. “All you can say is that it is ‘up’.” “How about right at the top?” “Nope; just ‘up’.” In other words, there appeared to be no way to express gradations.

A few years later, in Nairobi, I learned something else about African languages when two women expressed surprise at my English dictionary. “Isn’t English your language?” they asked. “Yes,” I said. “It’s my only language.” “Then why do you need a dictionary?”

They were puzzled that I needed a dictionary, and I was puzzled by their puzzlement. I explained that there are times when you hear a word you’re not sure about and so you look it up. “But if English is your language,” they asked, “how can there be words you don’t know?” “What?” I said. “No one knows all the words of his language.”

“But we know all the words of Kikuyu; every Kikuyu does,” they replied. I was even more surprised, but gradually it dawned on me that since their language is entirely oral, it exists only in the minds of Kikuyu speakers. Since there is a limit to what the human brain can retain, the overall size of the language remains more or less constant. A written language, on the other hand, existing as it does partly in the millions of pages of the written word, grows far beyond the capacity of anyone to know it in its entirety. But if the size of a language is limited, it follows that the number of concepts it contains will also be limited and hence that both language and thinking will be impoverished.

The thing about having complex thought that's beyond what's familiar to the general native English speaking population, is that it creates a real struggle to define your thought with existing words without seeming verbose
I was having message exchanges with a foid I slayed recently and it was like interacting with an early computer script model that was very limited in it's function, most people legit have NPC limitations to how they express themselves.

Spoiler

Taking LSD really pushed me into a new realm of concepts having no words to define them because there is no understanding of shared LSD experiences among the general population that would allow words to describe these things to form, but as my mind continues to expand I am going to start facing this problem with my sober mind thus I will just start inventing words to shorten things down in my own vocabulary and maybe sprinkle them in when I become a source of authority in given youtube spheres

Just think and express yourself in terms of numbers it makes life easier

Linguistic hell!
It's definitely useful for one to be able to verbalise concepts they intuitively understand. Because it can allow them to nitpick and break them down/build upon them.

But good luck trying to explain that concept to someone else. Even when you simplify it they still won't be able to concieve the specific nuance you are trying to relay.

I used to think jargon was pretentious, and whilst it is when it's used unecessarily, there becomes a point in which more knowledge of high level words allows you to make your point with more accuracy. Vs leaving the wrong impression.

Immediately thought about @BigJimsWornOutTires it would be his sort of thing. And how he gets interpreted for his way of writing.

People iconic have been known for their rhetoric. Watching the series Rome inspired me to apply words more like pleb and praet, as wet as October, etc.

PSL has its more rhetoric, the more you know I guess.
