| 10/31/24 | Episode 104 Consciousness is more than just a little cutie pie | Do human beings have more or less consciousness than the rest of the living world? Is language an addiction? We’ll explore both points by examining the relationship between language and time. To participate in the world of human language, we have to reduce ourselves to little cutie pies known as ‘selves,’ who exist at a … Continue reading Episode 104 Consciousness is more than just a little cutie pie | — | ||||||
| 9/26/24 | Episode 103 Inhabiting language | In this episode I’ll try to convince you that using language to express the self is like a dog chasing its own tail… or a snake eating its tail, if you prefer ouroboros imagery. My perspective is that human language is the one-dimensional structure that shapes the self and thus limits access to the vast … Continue reading Episode 103 Inhabiting language | — | ||||||
| 8/29/24 | Episode 102 How to belong | Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? My own red thread through the labyrinth of linguistics has been the theme of not belonging. We explore the grammatical shape belonging takes in everyday conversations about fitting in. We discuss how selves can grammatically ‘detach’ from bodies, and the transformative possibility of embodied selves. Join me … Continue reading Episode 102 How to belong | — | ||||||
| 7/27/24 | Episode 101 You, me and big egos | What’s the difference between me and you? And what’s so bad about big egos, anyway? In this episode we explore the relationship between ego and language. We move from Freud’s psychoanalytic theory to D.T. Suzuki’s explanation of the Zen Buddhist perspective. We explore Suzuki’s analysis of two poems about encounters with flowers, one by Basho … Continue reading Episode 101 You, me and big egos | — | ||||||
| 6/29/24 | Episode 100 Selfish wishes for social change | What are your top three wishes? Are they selfish? As it happens, your wishes may be worse than selfish—they may be toxically self-effacing. If you participate, on whatever level, in a society in which people are continually and oppressively bullied into thinking they need to be someone other than who they are, then you may … Continue reading Episode 100 Selfish wishes for social change | — | ||||||
| 5/30/24 | Episode 99 Linguistics and astrology | What new language would you most like to know? Is astrology on your list? Does astrology count as a language? Maybe the language of the stars could be classified as a pidgin, a language without native speakers. But if, as discussed in Episode 96, ‘The Earth’s language’, languages are ways of organising information, then it … Continue reading Episode 99 Linguistics and astrology | — | ||||||
| 4/25/24 | Episode 98 Linguistic singularities | Counting… that’s maths, right? Actually, it’s language. And as we’ll discover through a series of absurd tasks (like, ‘count everything you can see’), you can’t count anything until you know what ‘counts as’ a thing. Language draws the lines around what counts, and it shifts and changes as it does so. In this episode we … Continue reading Episode 98 Linguistic singularities | — | ||||||
| 3/28/24 | Episode 97 The intimacy of denial | What’s the weirdest thing about human language? We explore linguistic polarity and all its bizarre implications. Embedded in every human grammar is a way of turning a positive clause (I’m listening) into a negative clause (I’m not listening). Grammatical negation is one of the ways we can do denial. (‘I’m not scared of that dog,’ … Continue reading Episode 97 The intimacy of denial | — | ||||||
| 2/29/24 | Episode 96 The Earth’s language | We start the episode, as always, with a couple of questions: There’s an answer to Question 2 that will be true for anyone who says it. ‘I am here.’ But if you write it on a piece of paper, and then leave the room, it stops being true. Does that make spoken language more genuine? … Continue reading Episode 96 The Earth’s language | — | ||||||
| 12/28/23 | Episode 94 Language and the afterlife | What happens when we die? Ideas about the afterlife (or the lack of an afterlife) requires theory building based on either faith or experience. What if you don’t have faith in stories about the afterlife and you’ve never experienced anything resembling a near-death experience (NDE)? In this episode I’ll guide you through a language-based exercise … Continue reading Episode 94 Language and the afterlife | — | ||||||
| 11/30/23 | Episode 93 Where do you stop and the rest of the world begin? | Is there a distinction between you and the rest of the world? Where do you stop and the rest of the world begin? What’s the meaning of the word ‘now’? The gift of language is that it shapes and reshapes the experience of separateness. It’s a gift because it’s fluid. It’s more a membrane than … Continue reading Episode 93 Where do you stop and the rest of the world begin? | — | ||||||
| 10/25/23 | Episode 92 The grammatical shape of emotions | When was the last time you lost language? And… how do you feel? The one time it feels like I’m losing language is when I let myself feel what I really feel. (We’re talking about weeping, wailing, keening—the dripping-nose ugly cry.) I’ve been thinking a lot about emotions and language because I’ve just made a … Continue reading Episode 92 The grammatical shape of emotions | — | ||||||
| 9/28/23 | Episode 91 The limits of language and selfhood | Linguistic interaction involves much more than simply sharing information. It requires shaping the information so that it will fit in to a pre-existing structure. This is where we might run into problems if we ever get the chance to chat with intelligent extra-terrestrial beings. To what extent can we communicate if there is no shared … Continue reading Episode 91 The limits of language and selfhood | — | ||||||
| 8/31/23 | Episode 90 Language, intimacy and narcissism | What’s the worst relationship you’ve ever been in? What’s the difference between this and that? There are at least three ways of understanding that second question, each of which reveals a different level of abstraction: metalinguistic, anaphoric and exophoric. Our exploration of this and that (proximal and distal demonstratives, that is) reveals the gift, the … Continue reading Episode 90 Language, intimacy and narcissism | — | ||||||
| 7/27/23 | Episode 89 Grammar as a gateway to mystery | ‘Dreams, it turns out, are like clauses. They can be configured and reconfigured in an infinite number of ways. They are quanta of information about what could be transformed in the world, whether it’s your own world or a bigger social world, or both.’ (from my new book, Refreshing Grammar, p. 127) Can something be … Continue reading Episode 89 Grammar as a gateway to mystery | — | ||||||
