According to _tea_two on Twitter , distorted perception of reality can be a driving force for creating unique and original worldviews in creative endeavors. Examples of distorted reality spaces are well-known in the entrepreneurial world, such as the episodes of reality distortion by Jobs and Musk (Success Bias).

Newspeak was based on the belief that by eliminating the complexity of language (such as irregular verbs), expression could be limited. However, I feel that it might be the opposite. The simpler and more regular the foundation, the more variations of expression can be achieved through combinations of simple atoms. Jacques Lacan also explores this concept. You can find more information about him on . One of the concepts used in Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, known as Lowercase Others (petit autre in French), is referred to as Target a (objet a). It is something that humans pursue throughout their lives, existing in the realm between the imaginary, symbolic, and real worlds, and it is the object that desire seeks. Its relationship with partial objects, transitional objects, and self-objects, as claimed by other schools of psychoanalysis, is also highlighted. "The Other in Capital Letters" refers to the other that an individual can understand, characterized by human traits and clear intentions. On the other hand, "Lowercase Others" refers to things that individuals cannot fully comprehend. According to ChatGPT.icon, by emphasizing lowercase others, individuals can better understand themselves through understanding others. It also argues that by respecting lowercase others, individuals can avoid owning or manipulating others. The meaning of this concept is a bit unclear.
