>- Noticing that thinking constantly about things using language puts reality into categories that are essentially made up. This is a revelation of even higher magnitude for me.
Especially if you are multilingual, you notice how many of your ideas about the world are shaped (or at least influenced) by the language you use, which might be helpfull to some, and limiting to others. I think this is what Wittgenstein wanted to express in his famous quote: "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" |
