you've refuted the claim of your initial post 
Language can often cause you to be seemingly inconsistent with your philosophy. I made a poorly constructed thread on this a few days ago.

This is true. I would imagine it's because we construct our language in order to be comprehensible by other people, whom we often suspect of not following or understanding our own philosophies.

I think the evolution of language is much more complex than that.

Did I ever claim to be summing up the evolution of language with that statement?

And that's an interesting article DC. I love outside-the-box thinking like that.

You never said anything to imply that you thought your description was incomplete, so in a sense, yes you did.

The author is a physics professor where I did my undergrad. Hes a big wig that doesn't teach, just gets other big wig scientists together to do lots of outside-the-box thinking. I like his stuff, and his institute but I have lots of cynicism towards them as well.

I said, "I would imagine," which should imply that it is a spontaneous observation and not a complete theory.

Why do "I" have 1st person view from this sack of chemicals?
It seems that this body is a prison, limiting my perspective.

What's limited about it?

You asked me if you claimed to be summing up the evolution of language, not if you came up with it spontaneously. Spontaneous isn't mutually exclusive from completeness.

All of my pseudo-intellectual philoso-bullshit ramblings are based on this premise.

I'm stuck in first person. I don't know what's behind me.

What's to know about what is in front of me? Not sure if it helps with anything.
