Alfred Korzybski

It came from modification and how that came to the U.S., how it affected our decision-making, our perceptions, our value systems, and a cataloging of what mental health is by a bunch of people that are in the business of cataloging what you are.

So that's the history of what it is, but in order for the general person to have an understanding, or rather overstanding, as I prefer to call it, would be for someone to, they would have to study all neuroscience, up-to-date neuroscience, the genesis of neuroscience, which would be cognitive therapy, neurolinguistics, all the works of Alfred Korzybski, all the works of Milton Erickson, all the works of current neuroscience, and then They are paired with all the big pharma companies that make medicine and psychiatry and the merger of chemicals to the host, which is the brain, which controls the whole value system of an individual.

And unbeknownst to most of the American public, we are the petri dish for the world in this area.

And you may recall because people...

And it has to be.

It has to be because it goes back to the thing I'm continually trying to say, and Robert Anton Wilson talks about it with his work through Korzybski, which I'm continually trying to propagandize my audience towards, is that, uh, all language and-- is but metaphor.

Everything we talk about is a metaphor, and you even brought it up, but I'm gonna bring it up even more, is in his book of-- Aleister Crowley's Book of Lies.

Mm.

Right? She has a MAP model, and this goes back to what I'm talking about in my book.

So her MAP model makes so much sense because it makes me think of Alfred Korzybski.

Alfred Korzybski, the map is not the territory, right? And I love this.

Uh, the map is a model.

The model is a kata.

Do you understand? Do you understand? Don't let them push you into believing everything they think about you.

It was Alfred Korzybski that said, the definition creates the condition.

You should not let their theories define what is healthy in your heart and in your spirit.

Now, you know what's healthy when it comes to relationships.

The pimp, the Mac, can offer a map.

But as famed linguist, right, Alfred Korzybski said, the map is not the territory.

He also said the definition creates the condition.

I will never accept your definition of me to create an internal condition within me that was not authored by me.

Yes, I like that a lot.

It reminds me of this, I think it's a phrase from Alfred Korzybski, like a Polish-American philosopher, who says, the map is not the territory.

And that's exactly what you're talking about.

I used to use this in the journey mapping management context as well.
