Is thinking (in a western linear sense) not dependent on roping the
external world, tieing up, gaging it and putting a label on it? Does the
binary nature of language not necessitate symbolic (not experiential)
communication? What about art, music? Symbols or emotion? SI depends
on language, does it not? What then are the limitations of language in
terms of diliberating and thinking? Where does meaning occur? (This
sounds like bloody post-modernism)
