I learned the hard way that words can be weapons.
(No trauma dump, you're good.)

Language is powerful.
Or as I like to say:
Language is load-bearing.

Words have real somatic impact.
They change nervous system state.
And yet tech treats it as.. vibes.
(Words make the body go brrr.)

What happens when language is treated with the same rigor as code?
When nervous system cost is not an abstract idea but part of the equation?
Which communicational failure modes become myths of the past?
(Static types for human language when?)

Imagine people asking:
"Why do you care about language so much?"

And the answer being:
"Because it works."

systemic.engineering explores what happens
when language stops being vibes
and is treated as infrastructure.

Because that's what language is:
The transport layer between divergent realities.
(Be they human or agentic.)

When priorities change, Replies get slower, Conversations get shorter, And situations are blamed.

Due to the diversity of viewpoints and how easily they spread, the following has happened.

Firstly, personal judgment has gained an enormously inflated significance. You present facts, but the person responds by saying they don't believe it and gives their own answer back. And vice versa. When someone presents facts, one must either scrutinize them carefully or give up and say "I don't believe it."

Secondly, a situation has been created where a concept can have a dozen definitions, often contradictory or completely different from each other.

As a result, conversations between people start with careful probing to see if you and the person you're talking to are speaking the same language.

It's like the story of the Tower of Babel.

Seriously though, if you're a socialist like myself who's studied #rhetoric or #communication more broadly, you might wanna consider going back to your comms textbooks and re-reading the chapters and thinking about how to apply it to our conversations and organizing

😮‍💨 I just had a conversation end poorly

my intent was decided for me

No room to correct that

I am the only authoratative source on my meaning and intent. It makes *no* sense to have me offer to clear something up and decide to keep hold of your misplaced hurt.

It's got to a point where I don't know how to engage with these people that are my friends. I'm accused of caring more about specific wordings than productive conversations but the moment *I* say something ambiguous, it's assumptions all around and no room for correction. I wouldn't even mind if I was just told what I'm supposed to say and I could go along with it, but of course one is supposed to "just know".

I don't understand these people that will go into a conversation completely uninterested in knowing a truth - for whom an assumption is enough and understanding of actuality outside their realm of care.

I was having *such* a good day, and that was a massive blow. I feel like no ND communucation is allowed - and the best part is, I'm too impulsive to do it any other way

Please stop deciding my intent and listen.

You work on something. Along comes your boss and yells at you how much longer it takes until you have finished.
Well. As a comic artist, you have your own characters yelling at you. WTF? I'm working on it!!!
