There are inherent limitations to language , but  - you can talk about and convey the messiness of reality in a clean way or in a messy way.

Just as how you can have a clear theory about vagueness or a vague/unclear theory about vagueness.

Appreciating this exchange. It feels like the heart of it is a tension between wanting a clean, consistent system (a perfect map) and acknowledging that the territory of reality might be inherently messy. The pragmatic constraint Reciprocality outlined works, but his search for a purer solution via substitutional quantification is fascinating, even if the language could benefit from being easier to decipher.

Sounds like ChatGPT.

Just explain your ideas with concrete examples and unpack jargon with clarifying sentences and you're halfway there. Know your audience.

I thought your deconstructing science series was beyond impressive and quite an achievement to be able to make a video so comprehensive. Like a crown jewel to your work.

So if this new video on deconstructing rationality is going to be like that...

Let's just say I'm thrilled. ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, but deeper and more advanced.

Honestly people need to construct their rationality first 😂

Nah, that's high school stuff... I bet the video will cover how rationality actually prevents deep thoughts

That is very true. Especially for New Agers.

But that is too obvious to be an interesting video.

If you stopped developing your rationality in high school, I feel sorry for you.
