Words are at best signposts for meaning — they can never do more than point at truth. The best words align people without leaving much room for misinterpretation

Unfortunately, there are also words that exist purely to align people without respect for meaning

Increasingly, I feel like “onchain” is in the latter camp

words are a trap and meaning is the fish, once you catch the fish you no longer need the trap

or something like that i recall from a chinese proverb

We need to put these proverbs onchain so it’s easier to remember them

yeah, mostly, i think the most important words are the ones that no one agrees what they mean

the words still need to "exist" out there for communication don't we? i genuinely think we are horrendous as a society relative to where we could be. so words are sooo critical imo. you probly don't disagree but just clarifying :)
