now I'm not asking the philosophical question like
>hurr durr based question about life and it's meaning I thought of when I was 12 and couldn't get over durrrrrrrr
NO.
So I was thinking in my head, having a conversation with myself (no I'm not schizo, I just sometimes emulate various people that are usually vindictive or socratic in order to meditate (by which I mean the more classical definition of focusing my thoughts)). AND SUDDENLY I said
>what the fuck do I mean when I say a basic word?
Like a sentence can having meaning, and we can build that meaning in many ways.
some fucking huge ass factorial probably.
But they are all based on firstly words.
Now there is simple association. Like I point at a cat and I say "cat" and now i've categorized cat in terms of words.
I wouldn't use it outside of it's common use either, because it's usually non-sensical if I do.
I was on the cat catting to a cat about the catty cats.
Cat cat cat cat cat.
trite.
But what about an abstract word?
like responsibility? honor? promise? civility? ethical? etc.?
Do we just understand then gradually in context?
I mean it's not a physical concept I can recall upon.
So where do the meaning from words come from?
are the genetic??????????? <<<<<<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is it cultural?
