In this episode we discuss the elusive nature of words. Are words an expression of something else, something more real, more tangible? Do words reduce reality in the way they express something else, or do they make it clearer for us to understand? We talk about Alan Watts and Steven Pinker and some of the insights they have shared about words and the nature of language. Words are somewhere between a liquid and a solid, a liquid and a gas, and we would do well to understand their limits and their abilities.
