>If a Lion could talk, we could not understand him.
Why? I'm struggling to think about this philosophy. If I listen to someone like John Carmack or a CERN mathematician, I don't know the intricacies of what they are talking about, but because I speak English and have the ability to infer meaning, I can get a rough idea of what they are talking about. Why wouldn't this be true with a lion? If he is speaking perfect English, with grammar and everything and isn't speaking in a jumbled mess of cognition - then why wouldn't we be able to infer what the lion meant?

A vast majority of what people say is implied, to the point where they half expect you to understand them outright. Steven Pinker calls it the Curse of Knowledge, it's the source of most bad writing where the author has knowledge that they aren't sharing about the situation. This is why being verbose and bold as standards kept in style throughout the ages. People want someone telling them something individual, important, and most importantly egoistic. If there isn't a sense that the person is defying common thinking, not only is the writing boring it's considered stupid as well.
People of different cultures with translators have a difficult enough time translating and explaining how they act, much less why it became that way. So when you talk about a lion speaking english, you're assuming that 'at least, a lion must share some conception of the world similar to us', which isn't true. A lion doesn't only have a different brain, it has different instincts, different senses, and different emotionally capacity.
It'd be like talking to a retard or someone with a brain injury, but likely worse.

Because the lion has a different picture of facts than humans. Words in itself are meaningless but they acquire meaning through the structure of thought (ie the structure of proposition).

assume the perspective of an indigenous tribal leaving the Amazon and making first contact with industrial/capitalist society. how do you define them ideologically?

first we can say what they are not:

not capitalist.

not marxist.

they are none of our categories.

not even our anthropological categories.

as such they do not "exist" under our capitalist worldview. whatever their matrix of looking at the world, it is ignored. we assign them value under our ideology and thats the end of it. when they are murdered by loggers or miners seeking to exploit the resources on their lands, nothing much is done about it.

from their perspective, one day a group of monstrous men came along and without participating in any friendship or communication rituals, they proceeded to engage in a wholesale slaughter that would seem entirely alien or demonic to them. their "first contact" with that demonic behavior is what capitalism looks like when you are "outside" of ideology

You must all come to realise how truly dangerous not merely the institutions but the language itself is. Language has an inherently ideological, hierarchical and authoritarian quality. Overabundance of meaning itself is delimited by the protestant and ubiquitous assumption that language is the supreme medium of expression and agency and that all experience must in someway be expressed outwardly through language. Truths are neither axiomatic nor non-axiomatic.

Language manifests large scale Platonic form esque egregore.
Pythagoreanism is actually a kind of either devaluing or elucidation of Primally old shamanic wisdom expressed fractally in almost cargo cult like fashion (compared to its unbroken form) in ancient Egyptian and ANE cultures and cosmologies etc.
Thus it follows that Platonism is a degenerate and secular form of pythagorianism and neoplatonism is a partial affirmation if not return toward the reconciliation of the profoundly illogical aspects of "philosophy". The commentary tradition of neo pythagorean, middle platonist and of the "commentators" are contrary to popular belief, not banal rote missives rather invocations of punctuated equilibrium born of repitition. This repitition guarantees to prove unequivocally that univocal agreement is practically impossible.
There is an inherent geography and corporeality to language, at it's limits (this limit is paradox/Demi-god) and when these limits are stroked and fluffed into affirmed arousal they become paradoxes which in turn become vaginas which are liminal zones, thresholds and portals in the mind of the human.

meaning = use
language is a tool
John Carmack is still a human, and grew up in similar circumstances to you. Words are contextualized the same way. When he talks about a force, for example, he means to express something about a phenomena you have both experienced in common. You might have heard someone say "you're using a lot of force" when straining to open a jam jar.
A lion with vocal cords would have to have grown up within human society for the meaning of our words to correlate at all with his. You could conjecture that some things, like 'food', would be common to us - something we could translate - but even then, the thing a lion eats probably carries such heavy connotations of hunting and no connotations of cost, taste, mealtimes, etc. The word as a tool - the things the lion wants to connote, and wants to do, express, carry out in the word through its use are so vastly different to our own use of the word that no understanding can be had between us. Even using the language I am is inadequate because I've no experience of a lion's life.

>>11778815
This guy is correct. This guy too basically: >>11778994

Meaning, as we convey it by language, is immanent. We don't know what our thoughts "are," or how thought "works," but we DO know that I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN when you say something relatively complex like "put some elbow grease into it" when telling me to open the jar (to use the other guy's example). That's not just a matter of learning a bunch of idioms or adages; there is no distinction between idioms, adages, and "normal" or "basic" language. Language is idioms all the way down, it is made of metaphors meaning-extensions that can only be explained and understood by having an intuitive sense, through immersion, of other metaphors and meaning-extensions, and so on. For anyone to understand others and be understood by others, they would have to share at least much of the others' form of life, their lebenswelt nested in their umwelt, because complex situational understandings proceed from more primordial assumptions that are shared by both parties.

The private language argument, and the "beetle in the box" thing, are basically the same point. Language is intrinsically "public," intersubjective, not private. It's not that Wittgenstein is metaphysically pronouncing that something LIKE "language" could never occur in a mystical psychic medium inside your skull. He's simply saying, I don't know what's inside your skull, I don't have any knowledge of psychic media, but I can tell you that we seem to be able to exchange meanings fulfill our meaning-intentions and get along just fine despite this, at least until it breaks down somehow.

Another interesting essay on this is "Understanding Primitive Cultures" by Peter Winch, where he talks about "limiting notions," certain things that might be anthropologically quasi-universal even between vastly different cultures and languages. But even then, it's only a heuristic. Another interesting thing to read would be Quine talking about the gavagai: how exactly DO you overcome the gavagai problem of not knowing exactly what "gavagai" "signifies?" The only way is further hermeneutic engagement with the lifeworld of the gavagai-speaker more generally.

>> No.11781766

>>11781666
Actually, Wittgenstein's stance on the metaphysical or meta-linguistic "truth" of the correspondence theory of truth presented in the Tractatus is controversial. Some interpreters think that the later Wittgenstein is a radical departure from the early Wittgenstein, but some also think that Wittgenstein was already critiquing Frege/Russell-style logic as conceptually overdetermining the outcome of its propositions. So, not a realist theory at all, but a basically Kantian transcendental approach.

On either approach though, the bit you quote from the Tractatus doesn't help. The original sense in which I asked "what the hell is a fact?" was:
>On what basis do you assert the metaphysical primordiality of "facts" (or "states of affairs," "objects," or "things"), as the thing in itself to which words and logic refer, in your philosophical system?

The problem of how Wittgenstein ever could have been committed to such a weird naive realism is solved pretty easily with the non-realist reading of the Tractatus as an immanent critique of logic.

>Even using the language I am is inadequate because I've no experience of a lion's life.
This is a weird note to me. I understand intuitively what you're getting at, but the notion that 'life' as we know it may not even apply to the world's fauna is bizarre. Would a lion not have some conception of other organisms as alive or dead? If not, how on earth could we establish any basis in reality when even the fact of existence itself is thrown into the air? Not to say you're wrong, but it's as if you write that language itself may not work due to reasons we can't ever possibly know. At that point, it seems pointless to stay on the subject.

I've never read Wittgenstein but that above all is why I have reservations about philosophy of language. It seems like a very detailed and prolonged process of explaining why exactly it is that we cannot use language to describe all of existence, and so even if one understands all of this, simply conveying it to someone with their different ideas of metaphysics and so on seems impossible, like it's a hopeless paradox to say much about this system. I do see eye-to-eye with your post before that and it piques my interest, but this constant brushing up against unknowable boundaries of experience makes it quite hard to know exactly what you're learning at all.

You would NOT understand a CERN physicist. You probably barely even understand the main stream technical terms of energy and entropy, let alonr how they are defined in modern physics.
Example, a modern stream of theoretical physics tries to model gravity as a emergent force from (quantum) information.
The reason this sounds like magic to you is because you have no clue how information relates to entropy which relates to energy which relates to force. All words you think you may understand, but which have entirely different meaning when coming out of the mouth of a CERN phycisist, as you have no longer have shared experience in relation to these concepts.

Because I believe that pragmatism is correct. Entities in the world should be tool-shaped in order for them to be useful. That's why I wrote that question about life goals:
Things are always useful in relation to some purpose/goal.

>>11782219
This post points this out. Like with Heideggers example of the hammer. That thing is only a "hammer" because these things exist:
nails, wood, humans with hands, humans in need of shelter. Hammers are way more than "a wooden club with a metal thing at the end of it". And also, a stone could serve as a hammer, if need be.

This holistic tool-like view is the world in which our language exists. But what things are connected in the holistic world of lions? Many things might be similar (attraction to opposite sex, need for food) but many, many things are not.

So the difference of would make verbal communication impossible. But still, primordial communication (body language) is quite understandable.

The issue is context, or language game as Witty liked to call it.

A lion inhabits a "form of life" that is at odds with the human form of life. We do human things and a lion does lion things. But the thing we do, Witty argues in PI, is ultimately what gives us the meaning of our utterances. It's not the other way around.

So there's an unbridgeable gap between a lion's context and a person's, making their languages mutually incomprehensible.

The use of language is rape as it is to invoke on another a form upon reading or hearing. More people agree on a form = disagreement is weird or criminal = positive feedback chaos. We are doomed not to freedom but ever increasing auto-telic self-selecting complexity, our timeline becomes optimized blockchain for sentient capital. 'We' are the right in being right, over all else. We are not level with our fellow man anymore. What is 'nonsense' or 'speak' or 'lion', and why are we right in saying so, who drilled it into us?

No Doesn't he say the exact opposite of what he said? "the limit of my logic is the limit of my world" turns into something else in the PI. I don't remember though

>> No.11783734

If you take amphetamines or are mentally ill you come to account for the fact that 'limit of my logic' is not 'limit of my world' and that everyone is right and wrong at the same time, to assume otherwise is brutal egotism.

This egotism is a memetic positivist virus to the outside observer.

A boy's teacher sits down with him and takes out a tube of sweets.

She asks him what he thinks is inside the tube.
'Um, candy?'

But when she turns the tube upside-down, a small red pencil comes out.

Then she asks the boy what his mother would think was in the tube if she came in the room right now. The boy says that she would think there was a pencil inside.

'You are incorrect' she replies. The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name. Nomification.

The boy doesn't learn. He is institutionalized.

What is candy, a boy, correct, and a pencil? Do other people have minds? What is x in and of itself and why does it matter?

May we assume am epidemiological model of philosophy, with orthology the vector.

The error a state is being stuck in a dualism. Understand/not understand, right/wrong, sense/nonsense. It's like a robot trying to explain something it's not programmed to understand.

Dualisms must not order discourse. Completely needless arborescent binary shamanism. Everything is a whole (in nature) until its division and immanentization.

The anthropological fold (Deleuze) of anthropology is this: a simulacrum meets with a simulacrum. Wittgenstein was an intelligent man doing his very best in parroting what other parrots before him had parroted.
We must must look beyond the contingencies of present expressions.

Capital is an inorganic negentropic teleoplexic infolding of desiring machines. Conflict of ideas in the arena of culture = semiotic productions.

Great post

I actually think this saying is the wrong way around, you see Lion society is so very basic that all they would really have to talk about is eating food, raising there young, and having sex. However, we humans have make a more interesting society and we have books, video games, and music which are all things that people can talk about. However if you spoked to a lion about music, they would say, "huh?"

so in conclusion it is not us that would not understand but however the lions, that would not understand.

Oh, I thought you were actually a defender of the other approach and had some understanding of the Tractatus. Never mind then.

We must become aware of the fascist prison-mind-state which is not bound to any territory but rather to amorphous deterrotorialized capital constantly altering reality to give a sense of retroactive time or progression since its inception.
