The Meaning Code | Convey Your Thoughts with Care: The Language of Specificity, Definition and Description @TheMeaningCode | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
William joins Karen to propose some ideas around the necessity of specificity in language, what it means to be "obvious", and how definition differs from description. As Peterson says, tell the truth, at least don't lie.

This September I will be speaking at a conference sponsored by Grail Country in Olympia, Washington. Encountering Face to Face will take place September 12-14 and will also feature Paul VanderKlay, Chris Green, Michael Martin, Rafe Kelley, and Graham Pardun.
