No, i haven't abandoned this. I've just had nothing to say at all. I'm not an verbose person at the best of times, and my mind has been dead with the physicality of it all over the past year. Frankly I'm sick of it but that's not the point of this post.
The real point was to all my two readers I thought of an experiment today which everybody can try.
We are governed by words. You're reading this in words; the words are translated to abstract concepts you have learnt to associate them with. This limits our viewpoint to the concepts that words provide us, like presets on an analog synth. So vocabulary is very important; you don't want to make techno with only a bassline. You want lots of crazy pads and leads and effects to spice it up, and communicate what you're trying to say more effectively.
Still, you are limited. So I propose you kill the presets by trying to convey all your verbose thoughts into the abstract concepts they are derived from. Think in those concepts, not in the words. Try to hold your thoughts without any internal dialogue at all - just pure meaning and expression. Obviously this is difficult, as it's a habit breaking sort of thing. So I will try it, and I will see if I come to any success. That's all I have to say, I don't know.

I have done this; unfortunately, it results in not being able to express yourself, which is very annoying.
