We need more words that can match up to the increasing number of things.

“Why do we do what we do? "

The question is simply too generalistic for anyone to be confused about what answer is being looked for. That’s why people have stopped asking such macro questions. Its simply too confusing and only adds to our already existing lack of clarity.

Each word can mean too many things. If we modestly take a universe where each word only means two things, the probability of guessing accurately what it means would be (I am forgetting the name of this formula)-

7C7 * (1/2)^7 * (1/2)^0 = 1/128

If we want to get our humanity out of here sooner, we need to do something about this.
