Weaponization,

 

Our Disembodied Language (DL) – which is our common, as of yet, unaddressed, demanding, fake, unnatural, unconscious way of talking - is and has always been, the weaponization of our language. Only if our DL has been stopped, by us ourselves, are we able to have fearless, authentic, intelligent, natural, creative Embodied Language (EL).

 

Our weaponized DL is truly an ugly, destructive, monstruous, but ubiquitous phenomenon. Indeed, in DL, we, as speakers, use our scripted, acted language as a weapon, to be able to win the battle for attention, so that we can dominate the audience or the listener. Weaponization is the act in which bacteria or poisonous chemicals are turned into weapons that could kill or injure people. Our usual way of talking sets the stage for how we deal with language and is always based on a struggle for attention. Inadvertently, other communicators are treated as adversaries, and, therefore, DL is aimed at outcompeting them, by any means necessary.

 

Weaponization of language also makes it possible to passively, stealthily, attack any group or individual. The freedom of speech has completely eroded, due to the weaponization of the internet. It is very clear, that particularly, conservative views are cancelled from all social and other media. As a consequence of incendiary language, to which there is no feed-back, free Democratic Western societies are now more polarized than ever.

 

Certainly, a way of talking – DL – precedes the weaponization of truth. Only when our DL has been stopped, by us, ourselves, can we finally begin to engage in ongoing EL, in which there is absolutely no struggle at all. Only with EL will we be able to speak meaningfully about how cancel-culture, made speaking the truth an act of control, rather than in invitation to freedom. Moreover, common phrases like, speaking truth to power, brutal honesty, standing your ground or making your voice heard, are examples of DL.

 

DL, which goes on, twenty-four-seven, around the world, is based on the continuation of fear. In other words, the intimidating, controlling, coercive, distractive or energy-draining effects of our DL, always involves the manipulation of someone else’s emotions. However, in DL, we are only able to influence others, with our own fake emotions. While we may be able to sway and bamboozle – hook, line and sinker – the shallow, phony, sentimental, positive as well as negative emotions of others, we ourselves have remained sadly incapable – with our disgusting sooth-saying and slimy-Newsom-sales-snake-oil – of experiencing, accepting and authentically expressing, our own feelings. The prize we pay, for DL’s weaponization of our feelings, is that we imagine ourselves to be in constant conflict. Weaponizing of emotions is when someone uses their emotional reaction and response to try to coerce and manipulate the behavior of others or how we ourselves are feeling right now.  

 

Why are so many people pretending, they can solve all their problems with medication? It is because of the weaponization of mental health. Clearly, in their advertising, the pharmaceutical industry uses psychological, therapeutic and mental health language in settings where we see and hear ordinary people – like us – talk about how happy and successful and healthy they are, by using all these medications and then, seemingly, they are not having any problems. In fact, our sanity, our own freedom and our own responsibility, to find our own solutions to our own problems, is constantly undermined, ridiculed and attacked, because, supposedly, a convenient, modern, scientific approach, with medicine, is the readily available, easy solution. Of course, the whole issue of mental health is in and off itself a contradiction in terms, as there exist no such thing as mental health. There is only the way in which we deal with our language. It is our DL, which determines that we are vulnerable to being gas-lighted, into medicating, instead of addressing, changing and solving our problems.

 

The weaponization of everything, is a phrase – which derives from our involvement in DL – referring to an expansion of the definition of what a weapon is, and correspondingly to an extension of what constitutes a treat, attack or defense. We were all conditioned by DL and it isn’t until we begin to have ongoing EL, that we can acknowledge and process, why language was weaponized against us from the get-go. The aforementioned expansion and distribution are so hard to identify, since we are almost permanently exposed to and involved in DL. The old saying, if you only have a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail, describes how our DL basically determines everything. Also check out my two You Tube channels where I read this text: maximuspeperkamp-hw8sw or Maximus Peperkamp.  Let me hear from you.
