I think this is actually a positive sign. At least a step in the right direction. Increased awareness and cutting your losses, not being further drawn in by the sunk-cost or completion bias.

That's why I would love a "save draft" option on Lemmy. First I could write down what I want, keep it and decide later if I really want to send it and even if I don't want to, I could keep it and maybe re-use it some other day or just learn from what I felt the moment I wrote this.

I don't have a Cancel button on the web UI so I am usually nervous that it will somehow get posted ever tho I don't want to post it.

Language isn't just a communication skill. We use it to imagine complex concepts; monetary systems, nation states, moral codes. The fictitious ideas that are the foundation of society.

Language is a new fandangle way of articulating our thoughts. Regardless of whether anyone else reads it, we examine and inform our own opinion without swaying others. For example, determine that we dont really give a shit about a certain topic.

Most do. For some of us, though, language is just something we have to inconveniently translate to, to communicate our thoughts.

At some level that's universal. The billion year old subconscious spoon feed its conscious monke-mind answers and solutions because the new upstart called a self wouldn't know what to do without fandangle narratives of memes..

Why dream of my dead mother-in-law riding a tricked-out unicycle to metaphorically represent the best career path I've been stewing on?.. Just tell me which damn job to take stupid lizard brain! Maybe the concept in my dream is just closer to the truth of it all.

I thought more because some of us (more here than on other platforms) are autist/asperger and don't think in words but directly in content/logic.

Pfff. I ignore most replies all together. Half the time people didn't even read my comment. But also because I'll have moved on and don't care anymore.

Same goes for this comment.
