⭐ " I am forced by the nature of your listening to always negate the first statement with another statement.

Then the second statement is negated by a third and so on. "

⭐ MY COMMENT:
================

I personally think this highlights also the multiple meanings of words in any language, because even simple sentences are like multiplying lots of potential meanings together and are not clear enough so if words are to be taken seriously, it's really an endless task of explaining more the meanings of your chosen meanings (or reducing the ability for listener to get it wrong) and then compare what listener has got from it after to balance their side (if it's a 2-way communication).

That's why so much in communication goes wrong - it's not the people's fault entirely either but tools that represent or are literally another meaning, or worse they are similar nuances that catch everyone out unknowingly! AAaaaghhhhh!

SUMMARY
================

So sentences are not just someone's "crazy" or "stupid" ideas you don't get etc, but language's natural 'fault' for evolving as HAVING MANY WORDS WITH 3+ MEANING EACH + CONTEXTS & WAYS OF USING IT ETC ! 🤣

You'll be lucky to really get what someone means deeper - which is why "What do you mean by "this" word" is a good way to ask a question and allow further meaning and filtering of the message.

If you take just the first meaning often it's too ambiguous with words like
"be nice",
"love each other"
"respect me"

As sentiments and if already understood this works, but for the internal engines in life:

not detailed enough...

not the context the person is speaking about...

not their feeling on it...

doesn't show their experience.......

etc !!
etc !!
