Jake’s High-Definition Dictionary
Learn why I deem High-Definition Words to be important here.
My High-Definition Dictionary includes an in-depth examination of carefully curated words that profoundly shape our understanding (or misunderstanding) of the world. Each entry will unpack the historical context, cultural implications, and subtle shadings of meaning that make these words particularly powerful tools for high-definition beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Consider this an ongoing project, a living document where I’ll regularly add new terms, examining each with the kind of precision we'd expect from our highest-resolution displays. My goal isn't just to define these words, but to restore them to their full conceptual richness, allowing us to communicate and think with greater clarity and depth.
Below are the carefully curated words. Click on a word to read my in-depth examination of their high-definitions. If the word is not a hyperlink, I am still working on its high-definition. Feel free to suggest new words in the comments. I will add the words I believe to be most important to this list and examine them as time permits. Also, please comment on each word’s page if you would like to suggest a revision or point out a mistake I’ve made in my interpretation.
