Why I use so many words: solving failed communication in the general case

🤯 finally realized why I use so many fucking words I am trying to solve failed communication IN THE GENERAL CASE

Words are what you use when communication fails

@sashintweets @visakanv so maybe part of me wants X, and doesn't care about Y and pursuing X has been reducing Y so she thinks "you want not-Y" but actually, that part would honestly say: - I want X - I don't want Y, per se - I also don't WANT not-Y and then another part can just say: - I want Y

and for the most part I don't talk like this either, but to the extent that confusions like this one are what's causing communication to break down, I need to unpack and articulate them and incorporate them into the wordless complete stance that untangles everything

and even already, sometimes these complex understandings in me produce simple utterances that work really well in context but there's WAY more simplicity to be found here I just need to write another million words to get there

I wanna do more writing ...I've been doing a lot of writing. I wanna do *even* more.
