We've got artists, scientists, scholars, pranksters, publishers, songwriters, and political activists.  We've subjected Discordia to scrutiny, torn it apart, and put it back together. We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

I dont know in which BiP thread it came up, about language and metaphors.

this article basicly picks up what some guys here said.

It seemed to be a quite good artice, though, i didn't read it through yet.

gone through it and its not that good.

First paragraph is quite good, i think our world is definitly build and limited by our language, which is a vast collection of metaphors. Also i think language is one of the main influences to how we experence things.

You can't learn about a society without learning the language.
