the "language shapes thought" shouldn't be there

its in a different league

>>14683520
honestly plato's cave and language shapes thoughts are just descriptions of what the jew have done to us

>>14683526
what the jew has done to us?

Cram as many basedjaks in there as you can.

put fbi crime statistics and a link to nambla

Use your pic and replace the words with the subjects of the conference

if it's anything like poster sessions I've been to, grab a drink and only bother talking to lab heads
don't bother talking to the person with a poster next to you unless their work is highly relevant
also walk away from your poster lmao

>>14688824
...what's in the cup?

>>14678116
bare minimum, hope that nobody cares then fuck off
that shit is so dumb

>>14691651
what is "bare minimum"?

Use many memes and emojis

>biblically accurate Angels
I kek everytime

>>14693510
why?

>>14693533
Because the Bible is a work of fiction, angels aren't real. The is no accurate description of angels.

>>14693550
Learn English.

>>14693550
if a shakespeare's play "the marchant of venice" is a work of fiction then does it mean that there is no accurate description of protagonists of that play?

that is the worst poster I have ever seen

ops sorry

>>14678265
poster session is a big part of any serious conference
Surely you have been to a real conference/symposium?
>>14678116
Leave out some minor information so that people have to ask about (make sure you remember it though). The poster is meant to be a conversation starter and aid.

fugg it will be stressful for an autist like me

>>14693533
The people talking about biblically accurate angels aren't actually interested in the bible, they're just wheelniggers who think the weird description of one angel having wheels with eyes is cool, and that it would be cool if all angels in the bible were like that and nobody knew this except for them. They like the idea of everyone being wrong about something, especially religious people, but they get all their knowledge from memes made by other wheelniggers.

>>14682182
Maybe they meant point? 30pt is really big though.

>>14683520
They've picked it up, it's exactly the same shit as the rest of the stuff there. All it takes is one YouTube minidoc about something to get popular and it becomes surface-level dimwit fodder.

>>14683526

why is this there lol

>>14697802
It's funny that you're so mad about a concept being accessible to a wider group of people.

>>14697806
Absolutely. Unironically I've been reading Plato and one surprising thing I found had been the difficulty in accurately communicating the meaning of different ideas, given the significant divergence between contemporary colloquial use of various terminology and the specific meaning suggested by the terms. For instance, "virtue" I found to be complicated, because I think today people associate the word with a peculiar type of moral agency, i.e to be "virtuous" is to be a "good person," or more simply to have the right opinions. I suppose it might also be a failure of translation in using that word rather than perhaps another, but I think virtue has another meaning that is also true to the spirit of the word yet not really comprehended colloquially. As a tangent I also think historically in specifically English usage this is what the word meant, and I suppose it's been lost today, but the specific platonic interpretation of the word in my opinion is the art or practice of good living. This particular definition I think is much less closely associated with the type of moral agency implied in contemporary use of the word. Anyway it's an interesting topic, not a huge point or anything but its something I found with discussing some of the ideas with other people.

>>14678116
This is why I avoided academia. Posters...posters...the thing the teacher in school makes you do because she's a lazy bitch who doesn't want to read an essay. Academia is daycare for people with no spark or direction.

Is "language shape thought" the discredited Sapir Whorf hypothesis that has been unwittingly picked up by leftists who want to impose a new gender neutral language and create terms like "latinx"?

>>14683526
Platos cave is an analogy of what happens when the unenlightened can't comprehend the difference between description and explanation and how the world does not work dependent on how we describe it. The shadows they describe, or are described to the prisoners as "horse, ring/ whatever the shape LOOKS LIKE" isn't the actual explanation as to what the really are. It's to illustrate how easy it is to confuse the human mind despite the fact we have a plethora of senses and the means to at the very least look for "the truth" and that we shouldn't rely on senses alone.

>>14697806
>>14698521
Language does NOT shape though, it confuses and complexes thought. They always refereed to "the one" as simplistic as possible, desperately not trying to elaborate or go into great details. The devils in the details and more and more of them confuse and delude the big picture. To do, "to be" to actually practice philosophy instead of preaching it is what actual philosophy is. A way of living and dying.

You cannot think your way out of a box you thought yourself into.

>>14698720
Best you've got?

>>14698828
>Language does NOT shape though
when i was doing bachelor's in english philology i was taught that Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is true and proven

>>14698489
They're not accessing it though. I'm glad it's available to them and that at any point any one of them could pick up a book and actually learn what the thing they're repeating the name of actually means beyond the 3-word slogan they got from a TikTok caption. But none of them do that and because they're surrounded by people with the same non-knowledge as themselves they feel like they'll never need to.

>>14698850
>this was described
>therefore it's true

By the way I said "confuses and complexes thought". No amount of past/present verb forms or rollings r's will ever amount to a thought worth hotdog water.

>>14698894
simplifies thought, not complexes

>>14698987
The example I replied to shows how easily information is just lost using language. With no word to describe or illustrate what you mean or feel...the feeling doesn't just go away too. You simply can't convey it to others or...you invent a way to do so (such as inventing a word). Or you use a word that already exists, giving it both a connotative and denotative meaning. That meaning it the most susceptible to be lost to time because the "feeling" it conveys in using the word will not be the same through history and when historians go back to translate the word they'll only be able to get the literal meaning out of it.
"Bet?"
As this anon >>14698266 puts it, it's the human mind that forms the languages we use in the first place. Sure it can be used to limit peoples ability to express what they think and feel to others...but what does that really matter? It's still just a way to express thought, but no means of simplifying it or even creating it.

>>14698850
your professor was wrong then
unless he was talking about a really weak form of it

>>14698814
>discredited Sapir Whorf
"discredited"
and the gender neutral language debate only makes sense in gendered languages

>>14697802
yea, they are fighting things within their language sphere of thought

im talking about phenomena like hard to translate ideas, ideas that translated split in several concepts in the target language that have no relation to each other unlike the source one, or outright different mindsets like language born difference in values

>>14699649
therefore wittgenstein was right

>>14699049
afaik synthetic telepathy is already a thing so we can transmit "thoughts" without language inb4 neural activity patterns is a language

>>14701797
Now how is one supposed to think? It's not imply a matter of "just thinking", just sharing random thoughts, in whatever language it doesn't matter. You already have this, it's called the internet and still most of what's said on it makes no sense and should not be taken seriously.

>>14699649
>only makes sense in gendered languages
Any language makes no sense unless you know how to translate it. The difference is that the words from languages that come from actual cultures usually refer to something that's rea and not simply made up for the purpose of expurgating other words and languages.

Very few people actually read primary sources. It is very frustrating if you do have genuine interest in a topic and then you see a bunch of midwits parrot it with no understanding because they saw a popular youtube video essay or tiktok video, but you should always use that opportunity to question them on further detail and watch them flounder as they never actually engaged with the material they're referencing and it becomes clear they are brainlets.

>>14688824
so im supposed to stand by the poster and talk about the poster content to people who seem interested?

>>14688824
>walk away from your poster
>>14688824
>so im supposed to stand by the poster
walk away and talk to other people/stand at the bar, only go up to yours if there's someone reading it already

woops

>>14678116
print it on A4 and if you can't read and understand the whole thing (text, figures, axes, captions) you've fucked up your sizing

>>14705497
the smallest font im using on the poster is 30
the poster is supposed to be 100 x 70 cm

>>14705440
>only go up to yours if there's someone reading it already
wouldnt i interrupt? is it ok to ask readers what they think about my poster/research?

bump

should i send electronic version of poster to the organizer before i bring it to the conference?

>>14678116
Put the main ideas in it, (the conclusion, dont put a wall of text)
Remember to use colours that match (no blue and yellow)
Put some graphs and figures (tag them properly)

>>14698894
My parents are foreigners, I do speak dialect with them, sometimes I wish to communicate as I speak my mother language and end up not finding the right word, also some phrases can be correct only if spoken in different ways and orders.

>>14698668
You're not a real scientist, not a real mathematician. You have no degree or qualifications, no certificates or experience. You can't operate in a professional or academic environment because you're inept and autistic. You'll never accomplish anything working on your own. Why can't you just man up and do what needs to be done? You're a wannabe, a fraud

Make it look engaging from a distance. I.e interesting graphics or highlighted /promise of return/. A big "...in conclusion..." is guaranteed to lure more spectators than an interesting than a big topical title.
Make it easy to digest on a standing foot, with a crowd behind your back. Ie no long lines of text, not to much details (start every block of text with a summation of the following details, make it clear that's how you structured it with color coding or bold text).

>>14711571

>>14711592
i will not make it an advertisement

>>14711571
imagine chimping that hard in defense of posters.

>>14714597
then you won't make it

>>14714665
won't make what?
