> when it was never even defined why would we call something a heap in the first place. Cultural conditioning, technically, "just [the] reality", "you know what I mean", etc colloquially. It's a broadly "known" meaning, despite no definition, that's where the paradox comes from. Lots of things are like this, the requirement(!) to fight wars for example - there's no objective definition for why we must do it, we just "know" that we must. And if you disagree with me, just ask anyone and see what they say (watch out though, quite often people will trick you and answer both yes and no to the same question, with complete sincerity). Watch children playing house and listen carefully to how they talk, how they describe the details of their imaginary world, etc....its an innate feature of human consciousness, it never goes away, but it becomes cloaked by education, culture, "facts", etc. |
