Diary 2023-06-13
When you create coined word, there are people who want people to use it and there are others who don't. In deepening my thinking, I need a handle to operate on concepts that do not yet have a Name, so I give them a name. I'm glad others are using it because it's social proof that what I cut out was a useful concept. It doesn't matter if that other person says, "The name A doesn't feel right to me, so I'm going to call it B.
It's not the handle pattern that's valuable.
Cases where others take pleasure in using "words of their own making".
Desire to influence the behavior of others
When others say, "The name A doesn't feel right to me, so I'm going to call you B," I'm annoyed.
What is the case of giving a new meaning to a term that is already made to mean X in the world without permission?
@nishio: participating in interesting projects that others are doing is a fun collaboration opportunity, but don't skimp on your own projects because of it! You should not skip your own project because of it. You have to do it because you alone are responsible for the success or failure of the project if you don't push it forward. ---
