Was it Timothy Leary who said in order to use your head you have to go out of your mind? Or was it in order to use your mind you have to go out of your head? I suppose either or can exist.
There seems to be more truth in the unlearning of what we think we've been told to be true than there is in learning what's "true" from it's supposed opposite. Aristotle's curse upon us Westerners is unknown to the east, and ancients. Newton's "discoveries" are but a mechanistic dead end. As paradigms in the collective psyche breakdown, so too will the spell of language.
Language seems to be Hermes in disguise. Dressed in jester charm, cunning but blatant.
