how can I put it
like
conferring respect upon something else
say you are someone who commands respect
and someone else enters the room
Providing moral instruction @Baraban
and you show *them* respect in front of those people
google says it is the moral or intellectual instruction or improvement of someone
I mean I could just google it
but this is more fun.
it is, and it also illuminates why Dyson uses such words
to make it fly over the heads of the people listening, and make it seem like he's being profound
Kind of like a moral explanation of something?
He's a preacher, isn't he? That's his speciality.
I haven't actually seen it used in such a fashion, but I suppose it makes sense really; I'll say that I've only heard people use it in the fashion of "edifying someone" or giving someone "edification"
Either that or I'm super-tired and am thinking of another word <:thronk:441701565607444482>
that's how I usually hear it too
```Originally edification had a strictly religious sense, in the meaning of "building up of the soul," from the Latin term aedificationem, for "construction" or "building." ```
What does it mean to gove someone edification?
that's probably why I hear it used in such a fashion
Well, an edifice is like a structure
So giving someone some sort of meaning?
I'd expect the word derives from that
well shit, if I'd just kept reading the page I'm on..
there is something in this video
can't stop listening to it
``` From the same word we get "edifice," meaning a building, especially a large and imposing one. So, you see, edification is all about efforts to build you into a more sound human being. Children can have a particular dislike for TV shows or books that are considered edifying by their parents or teachers.```
First time I hear the word "edifice" as well
I've seen and heard that song a bajillion times
@Baraban
Hear it too
which has taken the sheen off of it
yeah, I would say to improve someone's moral character or fiber
@Reaps
i just found it out
But it's still a nice enough song
to make them a better person
those legs are hipnotizing
He did a pretty funky cover of No Diggity that was big in Oz, too
jesus fuck
well yeah, short shorts + roller skates
