language philosophy is wild it’s like trying to dislodge yourself from a spiderweb but all your tools are spiderwebs and you might be spiderwebs too

big reason i ended up becoming skeptical of any claim to knowledge including my own claims that knowledge isn't possible is reading shitty philosophy summary books of early wittgenstein and thinking "yeah language could mean nothing at all. word games. red king dreaming."

mind would prob change if i Read Book but i don't care to change it. thinking there is 'absolute truth' or even 'any truth' is less fun and existentially dramatising than 'what if this is all a dream dude...what if i'm a dream...what if time cube is right can't disprove it"

So, true story, met the TC guy irl at a party long ago. Talked to him about the 4 day night cycles n shit. Was very confused until realizing it actually made sense cuz redefinition of words, but all the ideas were trivial restatements of obvious things in his special dialect.
