This is true not only of words but also of artistic ‘qualia’. More entertainment means more availability of such ‘movements’ or pallette.
Of course, if you have proper words to identify such things, it’s even better.
- The_rationalist 7y agoGreat observation!
- grabbalacious 7y agoVery true. From those classic movies I've watched frequently my brain has gleaned a collection of images, phrases and situations which readily pop into mind. They're not all fully-fledged parables: they're mostly quick analogies which help me to grasp and sometimes to communicate what's going on in the real world.
- avindroth 7y agoYeah referencing/re-enacting movies is such a great way to transfer implicit knowledge
- neilkakkar 7y agoSame for fiction. I used to read a lot as a kid, but it tapered off as I switched to non-fiction. 5 years later, I'm now coming back to it. There's something about fiction that makes things click - it's the story standing in for experience :)
- avindroth 7y agoI can’t do fiction sadly ): I think there is something that clicks with people, and people should indulge in whatever they end up indulging in. But I am definitely jealous
- avindroth 7y agoAlso, out of the movies/games you particularly enjoy, softly ‘leaning’ into the parts that you find easy to indulge in (I do this in the form of repeating a certain creative/qualia segment of the media in a loop and letting it continuously ‘affect’ me) can be an interesting psychological exercise.
