    Well my point is just it’s neither fully determined as in ahistoric rule nor random as in “changes all the time” or “everyone has their own singular definitions and concepts”. And in between there is the sweet spot of understanding, interpretation and development…

    1. See above
    2. Individualist as I use it means the over-estimation of individual autonomous agency, as in “i’m solely the product of my very own decisions, which are independent”. This is a mystical view that supposes a god-like agent. For example the concepts and notions you are thinking and following this convo with, are a social product you obtained via collective processes. The more conscious you are of this fact, the more free you become as an individual agent (because you understand your conditionalities and because substantial changes have to be driven collectively for a collectively conditioned entity).
    3. In “my” definition above individualism is more like a contrafactual idea that surrenders the possibility of mutual understanding with it’s “I’m my own magical creator and creation”

    Objective and socially constructed isn’t a ‘hard’ contradiction.

    Yes of course language evolves and so on, but in a given time(period) it needs to be interpretable more or less independently from the specific actor (a dictionary ensures this, even though it needs to be updated regularly).

    In other words yeah sometimes language comes up with new stuff. If it would do it all the time, it wouldn’t function

    This is a week analogy… french only works as a means of communication because it has internal rules that are objective (as in different people understand the same/very similar thing when hearing/seeing a symbol/word).

    Singularity of experience is cool, but anything social requires communication/synchronization.

    Even though gender is used as a box or definition people are forced to fit into (and this is bad), reducing human experience to a blackbox kind of singularity is a highly individualist take.

    You can work on understanding each other without forcing anyone to fit into your definition…

    wir können leider keine Politik für die Menschen machen, weil magicmarkt es verbietet

    hä wieso seid ihr politikverdrossen

    hä wie ihr mögt das System nicht? Das finden wir jetzt aber ein bisschen Xtreme







  • Imagine the letter H and G would look similar. Now imagine there was a language that didn’t have the letter H. People who spoke that language would post: “Hot Dog” and then go like “aaaahahaha imagine God Dog, like a god thats a dog”.

    Now add the fact that germans know and use the word burger regularly and do posess knowledge of the existence of different languages and that “burger” is an english word, thus pronunciation differs.

    So I’d say no, not funny.

    Then again I have laughed about and made jokes that made use of the similarity of burger and Bürger. But I guess the “rofl different languages”-element needs to be combined with smth more to qualify as a joke.
