In this episode, I examine the relationship between metaphysics and language, addressing listener questions about reality. I discuss Aristotle's metaphysics as a framework for understanding sensory experiences and differentiate between descriptive and prescriptive language. I explore the implications of psychosis and the necessity for accurate reality processing, then transition to epistemology, highlighting its role in discerning truth. A major focus is on contemporary language manipulation within Marxist ideologies and its potential to detach thought from reality.Through personal anecdotes and historical context, I illustrate how state structures foster dependency and hinder growth. I argue for the importance of responsibility and rejecting victimhood, concluding with a call for listeners to critically reflect on how language influences their understanding of reality and personal agency.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
