Probably more important is the understanding of language sytem than the undertsanding of material things. The complexities and the philosophies are far more astounding really. So, how important, how different, is writing that: you too are the best . . . when compared to: U 2 R l337 [you too are leet].
Is knowledge of "leet" speak or "net" speak a justifiable subject for the objective TRUTH . . . or is it merely a waste? |
I think perhaps I failed to effectivly communcate my idea. Language is improtant in communcating truths, describing a truth, with others. However it is not a truth, for example lets say we have a red apple, take away the word red does the apple cease to be red. No, in fact it is only red because we so named that color red, red is only meaningful to us. Before langauge existed what color was it? Now we think in terms of language and math and the color red exists because of that knowledge, which is fundemental to who and what we are, I ask is the color red a truth about the apple or a truth about man? If it is a truth about man what do we then know about the apple? So is it possible to know, or like Iron said does it matter as long as we know what it is to us, which is very comforting
