[MD] Truth and the Linguistic Turn

DM, Ron, DMB et al ..

DM, I think this post and your later one are simply leading us to
accept that yes, there is some pre-linguitsic, primary, immediate
experience. Our "consciousness" of that is some kind of
"pre-linguistic / pre-intellectual thought".

[et al...]
Why do we all keep talking about pre-linguistic as though it were some kind
of infant experience waiting to "grow-up"? Why not admit that most of our
experience is non-linguistic and that most of our time is spent in states of
non-consciousness. We only think we are conscious because when we think
about what we are thinking about, we construct a conscious self out of thin
air or rather out of remembered experience. Most of the time it just ain't
there at all.
