      I just realize this may be read as more of a mental health tip in this context/ in response to my love hate relationship for extra unnecessary over the top vocabulary, rather than as a personal attack or critique of the whole argument/perspective. Maybe it is time to set the ol thesaurus down for a while, practice learning body language or spirit speak for a while in the stead of the dialogues.

        I don’t even know what your argument or perspective is. Verbosity is not a virtue.

        practice learning body language or spirit speak for a while in the stead of the dialogues

        If that’s the only alternative please stick with the word salads. It’s easier to ignore someone who talks too much than someone who assumes they know what someone else is thinking because they blinked wrong.

      If you attempt to slow down enough to touch grass, then try to tell a story describing that grass to someone who has never seen a living plant before, you might become frustrated at how little people care about grass when they don’t know anything about plants yet
