Does language creates reality ?
Language is influencing the way we think. Since Donald Trump became US president usage of words such as Covfefe, Bigly and Tremendous, have been used more commonly. 2 years ago I didn't used web acronyms like LOL, LMAO, ASAP, AFK, BRB etc. but I picked it up eventually. Similarly slangy terms such as Trump Card, Lemon Party or Greymuzzle. Emojis are also an example. I like to use semi-official style of writing using words like probability, holistic, utterly, interesting, deduction. I speak two languages - Polish and English. Also I love anagrams. Different peoples use different languages, different structures word choices and meanings. You can only think as broadly as your lingo allows you to. Also side note: I'm associating the word knot with a dog dick and not with ropes, like most of the peoples does.

It doesn't create reality, it informs our experience of reality.

Re: Does language creates reality ?
I like to think as language as one part of the many ways to communicate. Individuals that are deaf use sign language and you also mentioned emoticons. We absorb, disseminate information through our 5 senses biologically. Also, the amount of information what we obtain and its understanding of it is how we express ourselves. I believe people take our ability to communicate (5 senses) for granted and need to do some massive self-reflection on "why". People actually take most things for granted....
It wasn't that long ago when we where making grunt sounds as cave men to communicate. I'm pretty grateful to be able to self-reflect and set my self straight....perceivably of course.

Dear Intellectus, thank you for your insightful contribution. Also its quite interesting you bring taking things for granted and sign language on both of which I have recently thought about.

How do you think languages came to be?

Re: Does language creates reality ?
Why this video here? I did think it might make sense on several levels here, but I might just be in my own woowoo world of dreaming.
I wonder how much words impact my interpretation and processing of what I see as compared to how I might describe what I see or experience, which are hopefully two different activities anyway. When I look at things I don't think if words immediately necessarily as I can skip that because I'm not describing it to anyone else, though they may be there or ready somehow and might pop up, but there are many things I don't very consciously provide words or sentences for, though I see it and may match it to other things, so then it might be perceived as a "mess" and reflect on my character in some way because of a series of connections being made. A big part of things that might get skipped over is the ego and sense of reputation or "face" in the East Asian kind of context for the term, which people don't often bring up but which may play a large role in interpreting a broader set of scenes and word choices related to them than people may care to recognize. Our Reality, is in many ways possibly much more closely related to our sense of self and Face, even if we lack control of many or all elements involved, and we can't necessarily confirm a true separation from a sense of Face, Self, and Reality, nor is an objective reality even something we can confirm but we still for the sake of convenience and avoiding hypothetical and potential fist fights something we pretend like we are all touching upon together, though the mutual agreements might just amount to convenience and luck.

Re: Does language creates reality ?
So with a language like this, it didn't seem to do much to the way the people think as far as I'm aware.
