for - language training - answer - to - question - about listening and speaking first

comments - In human evolution, speaking and listening came long before reading and writing. - Our written language is based on sequential phonetic sounds of our spoken language, so it naturally makes sense to learn the spoken language first

for - question - language training - ALG - listening and speaking first - when does reading and writing appear?

for - David Long - is not trained as a linguist, yet heads this organization - This already says so much about the minor role that the STUDY of language plays in learning how to FLUENTLY SPEAK the language!

for - studying language - doesn't always lead to knowing how to speak the language

summary - The key takeaway is that even as adults, we have retained our innate language learning skill which requires simply treating a new language as a new, novel experience that we can apprehend naturally simply by experiencing it like the way we did when we were exposed to our first, native language - We didn't know what a "language" was theoretically when we were infants, but we simply fell into the experience and played with the experiences and our primary caretakers guided us - We didn't know grammar and rules of language, we just learned innately

for - common mistake - learning a word is NOT learning a language

comment - The mistake that most second language approaches take is that it teaches meaning of words but NOT the EXPERIENCE of language

quote - language is fundamentally an experience - David Long - if you were to distill down to its most basic component, what is language? - It's not a phoneme - It's not a word or phrase - it's not even a meaning of some sound - In its basic component, it's a happening it's an aspect or a part of an experience - This is the key to everything we're doing in alg (Automatic Language Growth)

summary - This video summarizes the remarkable life of linguist J. Marvin Brown, who spent a lifetime trying to understand how to learn a second language and to use it the way a natural language user does - After a lifetime of research and trying out various teaching and learning methods, he finally realized that adults all have the abilitty to learn a new language in the same way any infant does, naturally through listening and watching - The key was to not bring in conscious thinking of an adult and immerse oneself in - This seems like a highly relevant clue to language creation and to linguistic BEing journeys - to - youtube - Interview with David Long - Automatic Language Growth - https://hyp.is/GRPUHipvEfCVEaMaLSU-BA/www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yhIM2Vt-Cc

comment - Rosen points out the dualistic nature of language - Like individual living organisms, each word, like each individual organism, splits reality into an inner and an outer - Deep Humanity terminology of the individual / collective gestalt suggests that even though an individual is visibly separate from others, it is nonetheless connected to others invisibly in numerous ways - The visible individual is always only a part of the greater individual / collective gestalt - The individual / collective gestalt terminology applies equally to words as it does to living individuals

for - adjacency - Indyweb dev - natural language - timebinding - parallel vs serial processing - comparison - spoken vs written language - what's also interesting is that spoken language is timebinding, sequential and our written language descended from that, - in spite of written language existing in 2D and 3D space, it inherited sequential flow, even though it does not have to - In this sense, legacy spoken language system constrains written language to be - serial - sequential and - timebound instead of - parallel - Read any written text and you will observe that the pattern is sequential - We constrain our syntax it to "flow" sequentially in 2D space, even though there is absolutely no other reason to constrain it to do so - This also reveals another implicit rule about language, that it assumes we can only focus our attention on one aspect of reality at a time

Yet,at the same time, we have living elements that at one time in history, were independent living beings which were NOT part of a multi-cellular colony! - We have genes, that were once part of autonomous living entities, - Mitochondria within our cells at one time were autonomous entities, and cells, which were also once autonomously existent eukaryotes. All three exist in transmuted form that is now integrated into our body.

for - why - increase in treasury yields normally strengthens US Dollar - Gemini AI gives a good explanation - Yes, it's generally expected that when U.S. Treasury yields increase, the value of the US dollar will strengthen. - This is because higher yields attract more foreign investment, increasing demand for the dollar to purchase those assets. - Higher yields ( higher interest rate) mean more attractive returns: - When Treasury yields rise, the returns on U.S. government bonds become more appealing to investors, both domestic and foreign. - Increased demand for US dollars: - As investors from other countries seek to buy these higher-yielding U.S. assets, they need to first convert their local currencies into US dollars to make the purchase. - This increased demand for dollars strengthens its value. - Safe-haven status: - During times of economic uncertainty, investors often flock to safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries. This further boosts the demand for the US dollar, as it is the currency used to hold these assets. - Currency Valuation - A strong currency indicates a healthy economy and can attract more foreign investment. This creates a positive feedback loop, as a stronger dollar can further boost investor confidence and lead to even higher demand for US assets.

for - explanation - sanctions - chokepoints - US reserve currency

explanation - sanctions - chokepoints - US reserve currency - If a country is sanctioned, it means that they can no longer use the US dollar for trading for goods (like weapons) - If a sanction country tries to buy a weapon, then it must transact with US dollars because that is the currency everyone uses to trade with - Either that country has enough paper US dollars to trade, or they must do it electronically - However, if the country is sanctioned, those US dollar transactions are monitored by the US government and will be disallowed - So it is the electronic means of surveillance of US dollar transactions which make sanctions effective
