Is,

 

Now that I have ongoing Embodied Language (EL) and no longer care about, whether you are going to have EL with me or not, everything simply is what it is. I am so happy, to come home after a day of work. I write like this, because I enjoy my own words and have faith, they will address something important.

 

You probably don’t understand, why my language is different from yours. You are going to be annoyed about my ability to shed light on your Disembodied Language (DL). My analysis of your idiotic DL isn’t like anything you have ever heard.  Although you read this, it isn’t difficult to imagine, what I would sound like, when I speak with my EL about your DL. I sound calm, relaxed, certain, happy, lively & honest.   

 

Nowadays, we hear a lot about certain words, that, supposedly, are more important than others. This is total nonsense, but, not coincidentally, it happens to be the basic characteristic of DL. Whenever it is, presumably, necessary for you, to mark my words, what I say, takes the context – your attention – away from how I say it. In DL, the speaker, in one way or another, behaves as if he or she is more important than the listener. By dominating, manipulating and coercing the listener, the DL speaker expresses and expects, the listener to be incapable of detecting his or her sleight of hand. In DL, the speaker’s fixation on words, distracts the listener from how the speaker is speaking. We only pay lip-service to how we say it,  but never listen to ourselves, while we speak. This is why we engage mainly in DL, but almost never in EL.

 

Although we can all hear, whether a speaker’s tone of voice is demanding or not, we never pay enough attention to this insidious aspect of our usual way of talking – by listening to ourselves while we speak – to be able to stop our DL and have EL. Moreover, as listeners, we generally do what we are supposed to, that is, we obediently listen to some authority, who is, obviously, not us. Since most people, around the world, unknowingly, continue to do as they were told, DL is the way of talking of every culture and only a handful of people basically do all the talking.

 

Each historical out-cry for cultural change, was and is merely a matter of people, who are, literally, so to speak, demanding to be heard. Consequently, our DL has never been properly addressed and has continued unabated. Regardless of how much noise and problems we keep creating, with our abusive  way of dealing with our language, DL is everywhere, because we all still, unconsciously, tend to do as we were told, by speakers, who are not us. This even applies to the speakers, who dominate others, as they are completely estranged from themselves. In effect, the DL speaker, is always totally dissociated and disconnected from him or herself. If he or she   listens to him or herself – yes, reader, genders still matter –  he or she would notice, that he or she speaks with a sound, which isn’t his or hers and which he or she, him or herself doesn’t even like. A lot is being said these days about body or gender dysphoria, but nobody ever addresses the fact that in DL, we speak with an unnatural, effortful voice. Of course, the opposite happens, if we engage in EL.

 

Let’s now consider some words, which presumably are more important than who you are. Those who speak these words, which give them power over others, are constantly punishing, humiliating and disrespecting the listener and, as stated, they are, of course, also beating themselves up and imprisoning themselves, as their language distracts them from who they really are. It is in this context, that the insane insistence, everywhere, on the words equity, diversity and inclusion, inadvertently, informs us about our insensitive way of talking, which is DL.

 

Those, who want to dominate and control others, always do so, by creating their own narrative. Thus, they say, that equity, in its simplest terms, as it relates to racial and social justice, means meeting communities where they are and allocating resources and opportunities as needed, to create equal outcomes for all the community members. Presumably, equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and needs and those who advocate for equity believe, that different groups of people need different resources and opportunities provided to them in order to thrive. Clearly, not a word is mentioned here about the way of talking, which, only pays lip-service to the individual, as it   emphasizes social and racial groups of people.

 

If you don’t believe what I am saying, here is a typical introduction from a course, which is given to the employees of corporations around the world. Question: What is diversity, equity and inclusion? Answer: Diversity, equity and inclusion are three closely linked values held by many organizations that are working to be supportive of different groups of individuals, including people of different races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations. It clearly is what sociologist have called group-think. And, there is gender-, age-, ethnic-, physical ability- (but not, of course, about the physical ability, which refers to the biological fact, that men are stronger than women and that men posing as women, will, eventually, outcompete all the women, in every sport) and neuro-diversity.

 

I hope you can still remember, my writing started out with an analysis of our usual, mechanical, coercive way of talking, which is DL, in which we keep telling each other, in one way or another, how to talk. Here is a good illustration of what I am talking about. We may even receive the Nobel Prize for – make no mistake – forcing how people should talk. Whenever people speak about changing the way in which people supposedly think, they are really talking about changing the way in which they speak. R. Thaler has as much, but, most likely, more DL, then the people he is teaching. In an interview with McKinsey, on debiasing the corporation, the great professor said “There’s lots of talk about diversity these days. We tend to think about that in terms of things like racial diversity and gender diversity and ethnic diversity. Those things are all important. But, it’s also important to have diversity in how people think.” Do I need to say more? It speaks for itself.

 

I almost forgot to write something about inclusion. The holy trinity wouldn’t be complete without some feel-good stuff about – are you ready for this? – the fulfillment of what appears to be a real need: we all want our voice to be heard. Yes, in DL, we endlessly demand, that others listen to us, while, in fact, we aren’t even hearing ourselves. Supposedly, if what we say is not valued, we are not motivated and we under-perform. However, only in EL, can we truly be ourselves, which means, we don’t have any urge to be included within or belong to a group. Moreover, with EL, we never feel excluded, which means, it is only our DL, which makes us feel we don’t belong. Lastly, we can only have ongoing EL, if we become conscious about and take care of our own needs and stop depending on others to do for us, what we can only do for ourselves. EL is the way of talking in which we attain our Language Enlightenment (LE), which is the ultimate experience of inclusivity.
