Generalization

Posted by Verne on February 12, 2008, at 4:10:18

I was a little shocked when someone was blocked for "generalizing".
Think about it? What's human thought and language based on? Didn't the first caveman have to "generalize" to even come up with a word?
Now people are being blocked for "generalizing"? What's next?
More and more, I see this for what it is: a sort of "language game" experiment set up by Dr Bob that has little, well zero, to do with the psychological health or well being of the participants.
I used to help invent these experiments and games when I was a student at the University of Oregon and part of their "Cognitive Lab". But this was back in the 70's. Geez.
So, good luck, and all. I supposed I'm blocked. Happily. What a twisted place this is.
