They are just sounds. You don't need to illicit emotional reactions in response to them like some mad dog.

truly the words of a great philosopher

Words have meaning and weight, so it's normal to be affected by them in one way or another. However, not all words are worth listening to, which is the reason why I believe one shouldn't pay much attention to words that don't really matter. If someone tells you you're stupid, then who cares? you know you aren't, so why should you be affected by those words? If you read something truly stupid online, then why even bother paying attention to it? Unfortunately people love being angry, so if some words have any sort of meaning to them, people will look for ways to be affected by them, usually in a negative way, simply because they don't know any better, or because they're emotionally ignorant.

shut the fuck up

OP is right, it's all in your head.
the fact that programming comes from weird mouth noise to control how light travels on a hypermicroscopic level that effects the real world is funny but its all in your head, man-made noise. A wise man once told about a bird standing before a monitor, the bird wouldn't understand what it sees, but it can only do it's best which is to sing.
I guess it's in our nature to have certain noise emitate a certain desire or feeling, just like how a bird's singing could mean a will to mate or a call for others.

yeah the guy who thinks "words are just noise" is so sold on his own bullshit he can't tell when someone's trying to explain that sht actually means something

>>4062
semantics don't explain why you're gaslighting yourself into thinking your brain doesn't vibrate like a fucking hive mind just because some guy in a philosophy book said “words have weight”, that's not a hard fact, it's just whatever the fuck you want to believe. you can't wave your hands at me and tell me i'm wrong when all you've done is explain away the whole thing as “not all words are worth paying attention to,” like that's some magic incantation

>>4064
"coding = weird noises → light = real world → hive mind" nah man. first of all, even if this "weird noises" thing was technically correct (which it isn't) it doesn't explain why you'd make the jump from "programming is arbitrary input for a machine" to "our brains are some kind of goddamn neural tape recorder". your brain's not running a fucking loop, it's just noise with way more interesting patterns than most people give it credit for. second, real world light? sure, but you don't need programming to get that shit, just go outside and watch the sky change colors in a different season. programming is about making computers do things, not about "light being affected by sound," which is how you're clinging to this garbage

>>4067
> tryna act like you're above baiting? just watch out for those who try to read too much meaning into sht they didn't even write. the words aren't your fault if you wanna scream at ‘em when people think they hold some kind of power over you. it's not like you got any more respect than a fucking dog who'd still snap at the same bark.

idk how a bunch of words is supposed to explain anything
seems like semantics is just more noise tho

It is cognitive dissonance. When someone is in cognitive dissonance that person believes things that are not true and whenever they get confronted with the truth they get this uncomfortable feeling which is called cognitive dissonance, then they get angry and usually attack the messenger instead of fixing their belief.
A single word can be enough to trigger this, for example, if someone is a tranny like a man believing to be a female, which is objectively not true and you just call them tranny, they get angry because it reminds them that they are not a real female, but an abomination and then they get offended.

It actually has nothing to do with words, any word, action, behavior etc that points out something someone does not want to see it will cause that person to be offended.

nah semantics explains why people get that vibe, context, intent, how we actually use words in real life, that's the thing that sticks
