If I might interject.

One word mean many thing to not same people.

Use special word for special job. Special job doers no get dizzy. All know special word mean same thing.

Special words job help make many people with not same word skill talk gooder.

If you need an example of this read republic book 1.

Socrates essentially just dunks on these guys that are trying to define justice.

One of them says that justice is doing good to your friends and evil to your enemies

The way that socrates reubuts this argument is that the fella in question doesn’t define friends, enemies, good, or evil, so how can he expect to come up with an idea of what justice is before first defining these other concepts that are meaningful to us because of their common usage, but can be twisted greatly in logical argumentation.

I like the part where one guy goes, “Justice is paying your debts” and Socrates goes, “oh yeah? so it would be just for me to return the gun my friend loaned me, when he comes back requesting it in a murderous frenzy? Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

And the guy just leaves lol
