I'm some combination of another '+1 would read this post' and 'oh god I wasted so much time trying to understand what LW meant by that 3 years ago and never want to think about it again, but would still read this post' :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map%E2%80%93territory_relation#%22A_map_is_not_the_territory%22 … says the phrase "the map is not the territory" is due to Korzybski, paraphrasing E.T. Bell.

I’ve read the Korzybski thing as part of the background work for this. Worth going back to the source to see [which is not always true]. It’s super lame. It’s not only simplistic, it’s also cringily crankish. [How do you spell “cringeyly”??]

oh! i've been wondering if Korzybski had a secret method for how to think real good. might still read him but good to know you've checked it out.
