Indeed, the whole SΓ³cio-cultural thing behind it all!
Language is so incredibly complex and powerful in our lives and our society!
Yeppers, you got it! Absolutely, very much so, and it can also limit us as well, because our language defines the parameters of our understanding, and as such even language itself could be used as a means to control. π π π β¨ π€
In many ways, our language controls us. And towards ourselves, and to and from others! Most definitely!

Indeed, weaponized, and at the same time, it can bring us freedom!

Indeed, of course, once we learn the framework that was used to enslave us, we can then use it for our own purposes, and toward much more positive ends! The slave nonsense is done, it's time for freedom! π π π β¨ π€
