How do I conduct my own philosophical investigations like pic related without getting trapped in language games? After reading all of the organon/ethics and rethoric I got pretty inspired to follow his model of investigation but he never goes to much in depth about language masturbation

Just correctly define phenomena.
What is an entity? What is a characteristic? What is an action?
What is existence? What is an idea? What is awareness?
Are their idealistic forms ?

I personally think everything material is the Divine Thought (or Logos) of God, so you are capable of the conceptualization of anything.

Good point. My main problem comes when I find a cause to something I was trying to study and can rearrange that cause through several perspectives. Leaving me just more confused

ponder on the thoughts not just conceptually but by internalising it. You have to walk around trying to explain everything you see and think about in terms of your theory.

Dissociative drugs honestly. Getting super fucked on dissos were the only way I was able to think without using language. Dont recommend, I’m pretty sure I have somewhat damaged my brain from repeated abuse desu

funny, a friend of mine got way into the k-hole and all he could 'think' about was language, he was looking for the primordial tongue that has a distinct word for every blade of grass etc.
