which words make strange feelings?
we can do meaningful stretches around those:
then do some flexing until each word is familiar enough to be a useful appendage for thought.

Some are scientific and mathematic concepts. Others are foreign words. I feel like a small dog being held by the scruff of my neck being forced to yelp out the word, one syllable at a time.
I don't typically have any problem being a big mouth.
As for the flexing of appendages, I am waking up on my knees, at times.
irl, I am a walrus not known to lose fights.
People must have some Victorian, cultural baggage, in which they expect cherubs and pixies.
I have been mortified.

right, well small dogs are 85% mouth, and Walruses often have the same size mouth as a small dog.
In any case, many scientific concepts need to hinge together on more than one link at the same time, so that is where the work with the concepts goes. Often people use scientific terms inconsistently. Maybe I should say "usually".
The steam punk era was sort of good because the workings of machines were exposed, now we have to hunt to find out how things are put together and mostly people just don't go past the surface. I think we have better machines now but are generally a bit lazy.

Think of the bull elephant seal, aka the beach master. I am literally, physically dominant in my neighborhood, typically on the receiving end of the Napoleonic, small dog types. They consider me repellent. It's not the kind of mindset I am used to, personally. Then again, put me next to something so much bigger.

I'm getting it all at once and having to backtrack. Cramming for the final test without attending class.
I did pay attention, irl. I got A's without studying. I read maps, labels, and instructions, and keep track of things as someone of at least average intelligence, who can follow along, irl.
This not something I am used to feeling.

While it is flattering to think of myself in terms of a meritocracy, I am slowly beginning to believe that people in the Age of Discovery were just discovering it.
I go off paths and see humble pieces of archeology and endangered species, and would like to call the people who do that A-types, who were pushing their luck. Otherwise, our forebears might have been ordinary people.

whale oil lit our homes before coal provided electricity we will be learning to grasp and hold the sunlight better so that we don't need coal and don't kill everything in our way to getting more stuff.
whales and walruses have a bright future, bright and extra warm

In alt history was complicated architecture, lightning rods, and St. Elmo's fire, and great minds conceived of high tech in visionary experiences. Would they be credited for it, or finders-keepers?
Some of the mud flood theorists, as atypical as they sound, remind me of Abrahamic religion, where it talks about homes they didn't build and vineyards they didn't plant.

Are you asking me what I think of Qanon?
I do not claim to have any inside line or even to have extensively researched it, but my off-the-cuff opinion was early model gpt.
If there was not a protective layer of cultists keeping me from directly accessing it, I might have told it to catalogue the numerous similarities between both halves of the Uniparty.

Not tesseract.
Ends in 'act.'
Has a meaning similar to canyon or gulch.
Sometimes, I can reconstruct a word, and lots of cogent information follows.
Online word puzzle solvers are getting better.

that's certainly a stretch where did you need to use a tesseract to grasp an idea?

I informally would have considered it a modality straddling two dimensions.
But, for the sake of this discussion was trying to remember words that end in 'act.'

No. In my trips or dreams, I am told unfamiliar words.

For the sake of a thought experiment, when I have used different means of self hypnosis, I have asked different, mythological creatures, tutelary deities, and muses, about lost technologies, or else, anything that can be corroborated materially.
Although I am considered arrogant by many people, or, at least a little pugnacious, there is a learning curve that feels like training my muscles to the point of failure.
I am being mortified, and it is being explained to me on the level of an infant.
Physically, I am more concerned about getting stuck in a tight space than getting up in front of people. I would honestly say I enjoy fighting. I am facing something down, which is bigger in than me, that is not my ordinary way of thinking.
