Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

doesn't seem to make especial case for will transmission, but some interesting tidbits about some studies nevertheless

I don't have all the context here, but the idea of language-as-command is verifiable through introspection as well โ€” self-talk is a form of self-command, at least in my experience. Otherwise, self-talk isn't necessary for intuition in general. Eating something that I genuinely want to eat is a totally different inner experience from eating something that I'm middling on but I know I should definitely eat.

I like the will transmission model, it's very intuitive to me. Is the summary of Brouwer's critique of language in this paper expanded on in the source material in detail or is the summary sufficient?
