REALITIES: WORDS, "MINDS," INSTITUTIONS, PSYCHOANALYSIS, AND COSMOANALYSIS: A CALCULUS-STRUCTURAL-HEURISTIC APPROACH (PART 1)

General Semantics (GS) is (exists as) a way of thinking: a way of thinking about the way people think about things based on explicitly stated principles they could apply to help them better manage their inner and outer realities. Except in the fields of science and mathematics, their present way of thinking based on identification, allness, elementalism, and intensionality has been institutionalized -- accepted as the norm, and formally maintained, promoted, and protected by their institutions and societies at large. They can expect ongoing personal, societal, and international problem-creating problems when policies and actions based on these ways of thinking clash with outer realities. Words will have power over them if they do not use their power over words. For better communication, less conflicts, and more satisfying relationships, it suits them to remember that words automatically trigger different memories, feelings, ideas, images, prejudices, habitual reactions, etc in each one of them.
