Of course, because what I'm trying to express can't be put into words. I could take the Buddhist path and express it in paradoxes but I somehow doubt that would get through any better. Philosophy leads inevitably to antinomies and paradoxes, which is the only reason it can sustain itself, there will always be someone on one side yelling one thing and someone on the other side yelling the opposite and flinging shit and trying to build a reputation. Logicians just take a step back from the fundamental philosophical issues, make some convenient assumptions, and then build nifty systems around them that ultimately only they and a handful of other professionals can understand, and which, if they serve any practical purpose at all, will probably only lead to computers becoming more human and humans becoming more mechanical.
