Have you noticed how AI applications are genericizing what we say? When we put text into ChatGPT or Grammarly or use Fathom to take notes, what we receive is really efficient, but it drops our particular word choices and often mistakes the meaning.

When it comes to music, I love the fact that when we listen to a single note, multiple layers of harmonics occur simultaneously - no matter the instrument. That’s right! When you hear one note, you are simultaneously hearing many notes as overtones. It’s a big part of how we can tell one instrument apart from another.

The same is true when someone speaks. There are the Particular words someone uses, not the similar words others might use. There are Feelings associated with their expression. There is a Meaning behind the words, and there is an Intention to their communication. Beyond the Words, there are always the overtones of Feeling, Meaning, and Intention.
