If a child believes what you say they 'are' e.g., naughty and not what you say they 'do' e.g., act naughtily they will learn that a word or label can define them in a total sense i.e., you are the word. #meaning #words #GeneralSemantics #REBT #counselling

Language, Models of Reality, and Reality Itself. What can we know?

If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone.

The word is not the thing. Many kids learn they are in essence how a word defines them e.g., I am naughty. You can act so, but that does not make you so. We can attend better to what we say to kids as we can reinforce ideas that are irrational. #GeneralSemantics #REBT #nonsense

“The map is not the territory.”
— Alfred Korzybski (1879 - 1950), originator – #GeneralSemantics

Things are not what we call them. Don’t get me started on the verb “to be”.😳

Elon Musk Exactly! Through the concept of [time binding] one can say that me(today) does not equal 🟰 me(yesterday 📅) or me(yesteryear) and so on.

In short: Always be moving forward 😉⏩😊

It most certainly “is”. That we have yet as a society integrated a Quantum Psychology if uncertainty is at root of many of our seemingly intractable problems.

“The map is not the territory”
-Alfred Korzybski.

This saying conveys the fact that people often confuse models of reality with reality itself.

Models stand to represent things, but they are not identical to those things.
