Rewording and/or not mentioning a word, a person's name, a situation or an event can control or revise reality or the past.
Rewording the phrase, "I want to fuck you" to "I want to make love to you" or "I want to engage in sexual intercourse with you" and expressing the rewritten one produces different expectations and ways of feeling, thinking, and acting.

The counterpart to the term African-Americans. Members of the Anglo-Saxon race who were either born in or live in the United States of America.
Do any Black Americans realize that referring to them as "African-Americans" insinuates that even if they were born in the United States of America they continue to be foreigners? What would happen if mainstream media started referring to White Americans as "European-Americans," as in, "Though in the United States of America the quantity of Latinos (16.3%) now surpasses the number of African-Americans (12.6%), European-Americans comprise 72.4% and Asians comprise 4.8% of the population (2010 Census). Notice that Latinos and Asians have not been inflicted with or infected by a hyphen.

Some people use a deceptive tonality to reinforce a lie they are telling. For example, they will answer, “No,” but in a tonality that says it would be unthinkable for that person to have said or done what they are saying they did not say or do, and they may even intimidate the listener so he will feel stupid if he ever doubted or dared to question their statement.

Typing one's thoughts as one thinks them. When thought typing, the writer sends his thoughts from his soul and brain via his nerves to his fingertips which merge with the keyboard's keys which are connected to the computer and display the words he thinks and types on the screen.
'Thought typing’ transcribes one's thoughts to a computer screen. 'Thought writing' transcribes one's thoughts onto a piece of paper.
'Thought writing' and 'thought typing' are not the same as writing. Writing asks the brain to articulate a thought or emotion one feels and writes down the clause or sentences the brain has articulated.

Perfect political representatives ask their constituents what they need and want him or her to do ‘for them’ in the legislative body, list those things in order of popularity, and post those requests on their website. Before voting on a bill or proposing one to the legislative body, they ask their constituents to vote on them, post the total tabulated votes, and based on those figures vote for or against a bill or present or do not present a new bill to the legislature. Excluding anything strategic, they also webcast live what they say and do as candidates and as elected political representatives.

Carlos was listening to Grand Funk Railroad play "The Loco-Motion" and was amazed by the singer's adroit use of tonality to each time he expressed a word or a few of them in succession convey a message or messages which were quite a little different, complimented, or reinforced the words he sang. He realized tonality was but has not been raised to the level of a science, and coined the term Tonality Science to go in that direction.

The encapsulation of the fact that individuals who know more, make better decisions, and live better.
Know more know better is a great idiom. I tell it to my students to encourage them to study. Know more live better is an extension of that idea.
