The thought is not the thing.
Assertions about the thing beyond the word and the thought about the thing are not the thing.
My God is bigger than your God CARTOON
The thought is not the thing.
Assertions about the thing beyond the word and the thought about the thing are not the thing.
Amen!
Not to mention,
thoughts are often not things at all.
In which case, contrasting two imaginary things is even more ridiculous.
So the thing that thinks is a think is not a thing, and to compare one thing that thinks it’s a thing but isn’t a thing to another thing that thinks is a thing is not a thing?
“So the thing that thinks is a think is not a thing, and to compare one thing that thinks it’s a thing but isn’t a thing to another thing that thinks is a thing is not a thing?”
—
“The King is a thing.”
“A thing, My Lord?”
“Of nothing. Bring me to him.”
— W.Shakespeare, “Hamlet”
P.S. Anyone remember that other application of “Mine’s Bigger Than Yours”?
As in “unzip, whip out, and measure”?
