Some words have drifted off their referents. Some haven't. 'A human is a human' closes on something; 'consciousness is emergence' doesn't. Your statement treats all tautology as equally empty, which requires ignoring where the referent actually is.
I'm trying to understand the core of what you're saying (not just in this post). Do you take issue with the imprecise ways most (if not all) people use language? Do you take issue with language itself? Do you take issue with the ways we mentally slice up reality into things and categories?
This is correct. Read philosophical investigations by Wittgenstein (or an explainer), then get into the weird, mystical, magical stuff. Read the intro Crowley stuff. Develop an appreciation for what Jesus and Buddha accomplished (don't get sucked in), how impressive it was, and do that. People will just believe things for no real reason.
America is a Karsonian nation, god dammit, and if you're going to live here, you're going to have to abide by those values
Sir this is Wendy’s

I second the Wittgenstein suggestion.
