Verbal communication has very limited bandwidth compared to human thought processes. But we've been spending the past few millennia inventing workarounds, like art.

as if verbal communication isn't an art form in itself
It's just the boundary of our thoughts are so much bigger than they were 100k years ago
- I was not in any way implying that language cannot be used to create art. Such an assertion would be nonsensical.

Have you tried more words?

Why more word when few do plenty
- Can you elaborate?
I've tried this. I also use a plethora of additional words, with different and more nuanced meaning, all in an effort to get the exact point across. Problem is: not everyone is rocking an extended vocabulary, so it basically doesn't work most of the time.
I'm trying to re-learn how to be more succinct instead. The key is to zero in on what matters to the audience, and carve out the part they need to hear.
Less really is more.

Being able to do it properly is what being a skilled artist is all about

Writer, painter, sculpter, they are all trying to take that magnificent unknowable thing and make it fit into a teacup for our enjoyment

...word artist? That's an interesting thought!
- Yes, they're called writers. I mentioned them as a first example.
  Fucking media literacy is dead, enjoy your block.

Im leaning on the notion that if you can't verbally explain the idea, then you only really understand it in passing or through rote (input/process/output), but you do not actually understand the process at a high enough level to connect it to anything else.

Smart people can do incredible things, but the truly smart can explain analogs of what they do to 6-year olds. Everybody should learn how to teach

You almost admit at the end that putting into words is a skill in its own right. I feel like when you have deep understanding, it can be difficult to put into words. It's like the bell curve meme: first you can't put it into words because you only have a vague idea, than you have a straightforward definition, later you realize it's more complex, has more aspects to it and you again struggle to put it into words
- I feel like it's more than that though. Some researchers go too deep into their field that an adjacent one tied to the same goal becomes alien to them (e.g. developmental biology vs pharmacology)
  Techies are very good because they own a thorough understanding of the low-level implementation of a tasks requirements, they can tell you exactly how they converted an input to an output down the finest T. But they do not necessarily know how to generalise, they've overtrained and specialised on that specific task that taking it into another context is foreign to them -- i.e., they've learned a task within a specific environment but do not know what the task means outside of it, and in a way... haven't actually learned what the task means.
  Project managers (and, in theory, CTO's...) have a high level overview of the task. They might not know how to implement it directly, but they know enough from a conceptual standpoint to extrapolate the task and apply it to different situations and understand the bigger picture that the task takes place in.
  My whole argument is that neither the Techie nor the Project manager are masters of the task, because they see the task in different isolated scopes; one from a high level overview and one from a low level implementation.
  A Teacher understands both -- what the task is, how to extrapolate it to different situations, and how to implement it

I don't usually have trouble putting it into words.

Where I run into trouble is putting it into so many words I know damn good and well nobody is going to be able to keep at it, but I'm nowhere close to explaining what I mean, so I just give up and walk off.

Git gud.

So basically, it's like, consciousness just declares ... any time ... now, so that's why it's like, always now you know?

There’s also the fact that BASIC English is a simple singular dimensional language to express an imperialist thought. You’d need a language that experimented with complex and dimensional thoughts in order verbalize thoughts simpletons can conceptualize, if at all.
