A key component That Leo didn't include in his distinction Video

One aspect that could be added to make the concept of distinctions more robust and powerful is the idea of context . Distinctions are not absolute and can vary depending on the context in which they are made. For example, the distinction between hot and cold water may differ depending on the context of the temperature range being discussed. Therefore, when making distinctions, it is important to consider the context and the perspectives of others who may have different interpretations or experiences.

 

A distinction that is relevant and meaningful in one context may not be as important or relevant in another context.

For example, let's say you are learning about different types of fish. If you are studying fish for a biology class, the distinctions you make might focus on physical characteristics, such as the shape of the fish's body or the color of its scales. However, if you are studying fish for a cooking class, the distinctions you make might focus on taste and texture, such as whether the fish is oily or firm.

Another example is the distinction between a predator and prey. In the context of a nature documentary, this distinction might be very important for understanding the interactions between different species. However, in the context of a petting zoo, this distinction might not matter as much because the animals are not in a natural setting.

Therefore, when making distinctions, it is important to consider the context in which they are being made. Understanding the context allows us to make more meaningful and relevant distinctions and helps us to better understand and navigate the world around us.

 

In order to make accurate and meaningful distinctions, we must consider the context in which the object, idea, or concept exists.

For example, let's say we are trying to distinguish between two different species of plants. We might notice that one plant has leaves that are broader than the other, but without considering the context, we might draw an incorrect conclusion. Perhaps the plant with the broader leaves grows in a shady area, while the other plant grows in direct sunlight, which would explain the difference in leaf shape. By considering the context in which the plants grow, we can make a more accurate and meaningful distinction between the two species.

Similarly, in the field of language learning, context is critical to making meaningful distinctions between words and phrases. For example, the word "set" has multiple meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Without understanding the context, we might confuse the meaning of "set" as a collection of items with "set" as a verb meaning to put in place or adjust. By understanding the context in which the word is used, we can make more precise distinctions and avoid confusion.

In essence, the context in which an object or concept exists provides important information that informs the distinctions we make about it. Without considering context, our distinctions may be incomplete, inaccurate, or even misleading.

100%.

Context is the narrator of the story, and distinctions are the characters on the page. We're all just solipsistic readers, trying to understand the plot and our own role in the narrative.

Not narrative, pattern.

Not role, function

It depends on the level of abstraction you're observing at. It will appear as a narrative if you are deeply immersed in the details of your personal experience, but it will appear as a pattern if you step back and view it more metaphysically. However, they are both incredibly loopy and circular. If you pay close attention to the narrative for an extended period, you will eventually notice the underlying structure, especially if you are intuitive. But if you observe the deeper underlying structure of the performance for too long, you'll start seeing its beauty and art (both of which create the illusion of a narrative). It's like the mind is intentionally designing the pattern to create a specific aesthetic effect or convey a sense of narrative, and vice versa. The perfect self-deception

In fact I would argue that it only becomes more artful and beautiful when you don't

So true and counter-intuitive
