From regularity to norm or “the three-step efficient

communication”
It is known that there are spheres of human life and areas of human activity so
complex in nature that they inherently become, on the one hand, absolutely
exceptional, and, on the other hand, impossible to seize in any global model: we lack
data, we cannot corroborate data extrapolated from the analysis of the various
perspectives meant to observe the objects in question but above all things we cannot
count on the faithful repetition of the events specific to these spheres and areas. I
include in this category the spheres related to both natural and social phenomena, to
human thinking, and, finally, to the language activity, deeply embedded in thinking
and also seen as central to any instance of communication in our world, namely the

Mind formatting institutions

Everywhere in the world, societies – acting as communities – set up institutions or
just use already existing ones, leading to their own reproduction.This reality relies on
the use of language, which not only influence people, but also socio-culturally shapes
their minds. This paper has the goal of discussing mind formatting institutions that
smoothly “manipulate” people into being “good citizens”, from their early ages to the
end of their lives, thanks to language, understanding manipulation as a amoral
tool. Continue reading →
