    Language probably isn’t really communication. Because the words don’t actually carry their definition. And they definitely don’t carry any real experience-stuff (sight, sound etc) either.

    It’s just assumed that you’re connecting the word to the definition/experience, in your head,in a way that makes communication happen.

    And that’s a big assumption.
