“We exist in shapes!”
One could even write that “we exist in space”. Plural? “We exist in spaces.”
What’s the difference?

Feeling or Emotion
Anger, is that a feeling or an emotion?
Wow, I can’t distinguish between these!
I took these for granted. Or rather was so confident of understanding these. Curveball!

Build a brand? Build?
Is that the word? Think about it.
“Build”
Look at the meaning of ‘brand’, look at the meaning of ‘build’.
For a long time, I’ve had doubts about this expression and similar other expressions which include ‘brand’.
Folks say, the name of my brand is…
‘Brand’ if understood in the sense of its the original meanings, whether as a verb or a noun, doesn’t make any sense in such expressions as ‘build a brand’.
Actually, ‘brand’ feels like an abstraction. An abstract name given to the phenomenon of making one remember your name at the moment of truth.

Boatiness
What’s that?
I do not want to offer a definition or a definitive answer. Why? Coz I’ve just discovered or, say, coined this expression. Let me offer some hints anyway.
Observe your shoes. Notice how they are shaped.
I find that an overwhelming majority of shoes- leather, canvas, sports- and even sandals worn by women exhibit ‘boatiness’. Notice?

Breathtakers
Breathtaking and breathless. A related expression to breathless is ‘out of breath’. Am I getting this right?
What is the difference between breathtaking and breathless?
When you sprint, is it breathtaking and is it breathlessness inducing?
When you scroll through your Instagram feed, is it breathtaking and breathlessness inducing?
Breathtaking and breathlessness inducing, both can cause death?

Powerful Expression
In Jim Manzi’s book I come across a powerful expression:
Causal Density
Don’t ask me. Just as there is a density of people, similarly there is a density of causes.

Invisible Meanings
Do you enjoy your job?
Say I replace the word ‘enjoy’ with some other expression.
Confuse?
Do you confuse your job?
Thrill?
Do you thrill your job?
Hammer?
Do you hammer your job?
Nail?
Do you nail your job?
Polish?
Do you polish your job?
Enjoy has multiple invisible meanings.
There are times when I don’t enjoy my job. When I recognize that ‘enjoy’ involves invisible meanings and start applying the meanings, and write them out, I enjoy it.

Nature of Justice
And now I tried understanding the difference between engine and machine.
It seems to me as if I understood nothing about such matters back in school and, so rightfully, I am not a silly engineer.
Unbelievable what I am reading and understanding at this stage of my life. Word Blindness, atrocious!
First Google result on my screen:
Machine with moving parts converts the power into motion. A machine consumes energy whereas an engine produces energy. Engine converts heat energy to Mechanical Energy but machine converts all forms of energy to mechanical energy except heat energy. A engine runs a machine, without an engine a machine can’t run.
As much as I like to believe this, it sounds misleading. That last sentence above.
Without an engine a machine can’t run?!?!?!
Really?

Word Blindness
I could give it any other name too.
It was only day before yesterday when I really pondered over the words motor and machine. I used them interchangeably.
What’s the difference?
The first result from Google:
Motor can be with or without an engine. Its function is to create rotation and get some work done through its rotation. Machine is something that reduces human effort. It works by the energy that is produced by the engine and motor.
Aaah, while I get it, I shall now have to ponder over motor, machine, engine, rotor et al.

Platforms are Motors
Platforms, online marketplaces are motors that help you sell.
It took some time for me to get this. They are motors.
Imagine a thing called ‘marketplace’, yes there’s ‘place’ in there, has to be understood as a motor. It’s a motor. Place = Motor. Marketmotor?!
Brick and mortar stores can be called motors? Sure, but they do not feel like that.
