To use words to sense reality is like going with a lamp to search for darkness.

As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. If we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. Therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.

Who rules our symbols, rules us.

Whatever you say it is, is simply what YOU SAY it is.
