Thread: Method vs Technique

I too watched Giz' videos on this, and cringed at the insanely pedantic and outright misguided attempts he makes to "correct" someone for not caring to use the same terminology as he and a chunk of the lucid dreaming community use.

To the average person, whether you call your way to lucid dream "method", "technique", "plan", "way", doesn't make any difference, as long as the actual information and methodology you're providing is correct. The way he describes it makes it sound like he believes the terminology itself holds some objective truth, and not using it makes you "wrong" in some absolute sense, going as far as equating it to saying "5+5=11". These terms are just subjective categorizations of ways to lucid dream; no one is right or wrong, he's literally arguing semantics. The only value that comes from keeping to these is less confusion when dealing with people who themselves use them. To see him try to force this jargon onto someone else in this context is just ridiculous. And this is far from the only error he makes in his interactions with Koi. He time and time again strawmans what Koi says, and takes the absolute worst interpretation he can imagine to everything he says, providing zero charity.

The video in question.
