Also there are emotions for which society has not developed words because it has a social tendency to deny them. OCD, ADHD and Tourettes, for example are driven by deep, complex, strange destructive emotional needs that are wordless and undescribed. They are reduced to “obsession”, “compulsion”, “urge”, “tic”, etc., words that essentially only describe the appearance of the outcomes to others, which are a completely hollow description of the extraordinary internal experiences.

The very fact that we don’t have words for such powerful internal experiences is one of many reasons I find the LLM enthusiasts’ belief that LLMs will one day write indistinguishably from humans to be hollow.
