Hello Galan,

Are you a student of General semantics?

Wow, are not the first to ask! I should probably check it out. My thinking on language is heavily influenced by Wittgenstein but not to be confused with pragmatism. Sounds like I’ve wandered into GS territory wholly organically and would find its literature friendly to my better humors. Thank you for your studies and generous eye, wise Janos. I will get myself to a stack of GS books post haste.

Your humble servant and friend for life—Galactus J.

How fascinating you coming to the millennia old confusion about reality following a different path.

However, current GS is a bit of an academic jungle. I should start with the 1920/30s classics,

Alfred Korzybski and Stuart Chase, to mention the two who captivated me.
