No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Isn't it more the medium is the message type shit? Eventually language goes from expression to communication to conveying experience and ergo the language you choose becomes part of the experience, and it's all going to loop back around.
That's why we program, right? Story telling, art, civilization, building a world with unique cracks in your universe until technology facilitates the creation of a universe. A Von Neumann machine. Forgetting whilst experiencing.
This is it's self a product of knowledge, the more you have the less you see (your experience becomes collecting expressions, rather than sense-data). It's Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle.
Eventually you just see yourself experiencing and signals are all that matter... Signals that go beyond language.
The point of language is to transcend it.
Could you explain in your view how we transcend language?
I think the very difficulty is that it can't just be done on command. You can't just say "give instructions on how we use language to transcend language" it's shifting and is a matter of mood, artistry, inspiration. The muses. Meaning beyond meaning.
The kind of thing you only know when you see it, and if you could explain it, it wouldn't be what it was.
What comes to my mind when you say this is daoism, buddhism, mindfulness, meditation, qigong and spontaneous dancing. To focus on the experiencing over theorizing.
