Lack of innovation in LANGUAGE destroys our ability to think and communicate CLEARLY

E.g. "Ego"

Some people use it to describe a grandiose sense of self

Others use it to describe the NOTION of a SELF

It feels like there should be more than ONE word
Another word is "Entrepreneur"

Joe Rogan wouldn't fit the classical role of an entrepreneur

But he's making $100 million a year with 90%+ margins

He's more of an entrepreneur than 99.9% of entrepreneurs despite showing no clear entrepreneurial tendencies
If you study most arguments online, a significant amount could be resolved by defining the words they are debating

They talk past one another rather than defining their goalposts

Does anyone else feel like society has just accepted the English language and refused to innovate?
The most creative people I know are creating new words and concepts all the time

It's only when I heard @EricRWeinstein talk about concepts like the "Gated Institutional Narrative" or "High Agency" did I begin to innovate and create my own words and terminology.
