Neo Ideograms

from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJQjjBR6PbY

Someone expressed interest in id tattoos, so as an exercise I’ve transcribed the first 24 on the above site.  Will do more later.  My transcriptions leave plenty of room for artistic and ideographic improvement. I’ll be glad to explain and offer alternatives.

To help remind me.  Just did it with a sharpie pen.

yet another transcription.  It shows the present state of my ever-progressing work, anyway.   My trend is to move away from etymids; it always feels freeing to do so.  Take “challenge” in this passage tho.  It is from French “chaleur”-heat, and it is convenient  to evoke the “chal” to show which English word I mean.  If this etymological element is done away with, why have the word “challenge” at all? If translinguified, or panlinguified, ids would have to discard such language-specific connections.

This test video turned out ok, so I’ll go ahead and make a lot more–many explanatory videos–soon.

I have done something to “surpass man”.

At minute 3 he draws ideograms for “convergence” (which he equates to “trustworthiness”) and “plausible”.  I didn’t have an ideogram for “plausible” but this will, with a little tweaking, do nicely– thank you Mr. Vernaeke. Perhaps I can use it for an improved ideogram for “science”.  I note that what he draws would not work as “converge” (nor its mirror image, “diverge”) without the assumption of movement from left to right, which I generally do with my ideograms.

Cognitive science  converges toward ideograms, to my mind. In his book The Mind in the Body, Mark Johnson mentions the importance of image schemas, which I take to be natural ideograms. I think image schemas are indeed key in the working of the subconscious mind and a means of understanding, and that by consciously working with ideograms we strengthen our connections with our subconscious minds.
