Can you support this conjecture? — Banno
Well, yes, by the very fact of how bias and norms create quasi-rules of how language is used in a society. I understand that terms become reified with time as these tendencies abate or are pressured due to how social norms progress. — Shawn

I can also mention the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis or the Flynn effect likewise. — Shawn
Hence my question. I would say Wittgenstein advocated keeping track of the rules one was using, or going against; but not blind adherence to them. — Banno
I think the idea of adherence to the rules of language paints a false picture. It is not as if we follow a rule book. — Fooloso4
I quite agree. The suggestion in the OP strikes me as a conservative misreading. Hence my request for further information, for which we will wait. — Banno
Wittgenstein advocated an adherence to social norms in life, or what can otherwise be called earning or even accepting your labels. Language games between people as time progresses is determined by the social reality in which one lives in and seemingly comes to accept, stipulatively regarding whether one wants to reaffirm their social identity. — Shawn
Far from that, Wittgenstein repeatedly rejected the labels assigned to him, moving restlessly from heir to a fortune to engineer to philosopher to teacher to hermit to architect to hospital orderly... while explicitly rejecting being labeled a behaviourist or logical atomist or logical empiricist.Wittgenstein advocated an adherence to social norms in life, or what can otherwise be called earning or even accepting your labels. — Shawn

I think you need to drop mention of Wittgenstein from your thesis. — Banno
As others have pointed out, this is an incorrect reading of Wittgenstein. — StreetlightX
Wittgenstein might have not said this, and I mistakenly said that he did; but, isn't it a feature of language that this does actually happen normally? — Shawn
All criticisms aside, I still think there's merit to mentioning that ethics consists, at least extensionally by my own reasoning from Wittgenstein, to an adherence to those very norms in society. — Shawn
for blacks in the use [U.S.?] the refusal to accept social norms in the 1950's onwards. — Shawn
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
