'Words...substitute'

4/24/2021

0 Comments

 
'In any verbal scenario, as Naour (2009) points out, affirmative 'words can substitute for the actual [physical, body-to-body] contact comfort such as mother to child.  In short order, in such scenarios words become powerful as secondary reinforcers to condition new behavior or to sustain formerly acquired behavior.'  (10)  This behavior can include new and sustained use of [a particular] phrase by individuals within [particular language-using] groups.'

'routines' and 'artifacts'

4/14/2021

0 Comments

 
'Memento vivere is the question of how we live within, or in interaction with, memetica ecologica.

What are the particular ideas and actions that make up our lives within, or in interaction with, our 'world' of embodied information?

Our brains and bodies (they are one) DO.  What do they do?  Their actions have effects.  What are those effects?  The effects (of those actions) calcify and become routines and artifacts.  What are those routines?  What are those artifacts?'
