give me an example of language
now give me an example of language that describes language
now language that describes language that describes language
how many levels down can you work smoothly, fluently?
the deeper you get, the harder it is to take offense at an expression of mere language
nobody's speaking the same language
but if you can navigate the patterns of the patterns of the patterns of language, you can move between languages easily, and it becomes really clear: everyone is the same
everything in the world is based on the same personality - or personality model, anyway, everyone is a configuration of the same base model
I think I'm a minimally-configured expression of that model
just enough config to run, not enough to get lost in the specifics, lost in the details
you care about the same things, just in different ways
different languages
take the infinite series of abstractive steps removing oneself from language. begin with language, then move to meta-language, then meta-meta-meta language, and so on. there's no end to how far that depth can go, but if there was an end, the language for that final layer would be silence, and there we would be, together.
