Thanks for this read. I enjoyed its down-to-earthiness. I felt pranked at times the author's assertions of obvious truth that are quite challengeable. It felt like there were many but here's one I could recover:

"There are no languages whose form is in a state of development. And their forms are all basically the same."

I made a double take at that, and moved along for the ride.

Ultimately I wonder if my enjoyment of the piece is because it takes great acrobatics to be bereft of reason, just enough to make you think. No, not you. That other you.
