John to Arlo, Andre the incomprehending: Now we're getting into my beef with Andre and his spewing of my suggestion that "language = consciousness". But I'm afraid we're going to have to do some actual metaphysics, Andre, in order to make myself comprehended on this one.
This "conceptualization" then, is what is at the root of language, and at the root of consciousness, therefor, language is equated with consciousness. And Quality. Because this is the entanglement between. This is the birthplace of being. This is where the rubber meets the road, baby, and if you can't see that, maybe you oughta just hit the road, jack. Andre: 'He is sitting by a footpath on a beautiful wind-swept hillside overlooking the Yellow Sea. The rice in the terrace below the footpath is full-grown and brown...He comments on how amazing it is that everything in the universe can be described by the twenty-six written characters with which they have been working. His friends nod and smile and eat the food they've taken from tins and say no pleasantly. He is confused by the nod yes and the answer no so repeats the statement. Again comes the nod meaning yes and the answer no. That's the end of the fragment, but like the wall it's one he thinks about many times'.(ZMM, pp115-6) And don't you come back no more regarding this issue John. To suggest that we are only aware of those things language provides us with is just plain silly. Sorry, but silly.
