Philosophy Wire: Speak clearly.

People tend to remember better things that are said to them in a clearer way. When a speaker is talking faster or failing to enunciate as crisply, listeners have to work harder to decipher what's being said. More mental resources, consequently, are drawn toward that task, leaving fewer resources available for memory consolidation. [1] Listen to the wind. Full and complete. Listen to the waves. Relaxed. Calm. Listen to nothingness. Into the raging sea. Killing the cosmos. Setting the universe on fire. For a butterfly to be born. For new beautiful flowers to spring out of the earth.

In a sunny afternoon.
The sun is so hot.
Listen to the raging grass…
An earthquake shaping the earth…
Is that clear enough?
