We're talking about the struggle to drag a thought over from the mush of the unconscious into some kind of grammar, syntax, human sense; every attempt means starting over with language. starting over with accuracy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Conscious thought is the tidying up at the end.
It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
Not only the entire ability to think rests on language... but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.
'Think simple' as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
Words are a pretty blunt instrument. There's always going to be slippage between the words and the infinite complexities of a thought. As a writer, I find that frustrating, but as a social animal, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Without needing to be theoretically instructed, consciousness quickly realizes that it is the site of variously contending discourses.
Language is froth on the surface of thought.
I mean, every thought starts over, so every expression of a thought has to do the same. every accuracy has to be invented... I feel I am blundering in concepts too fine for me.
