That's because we're limited by our own language definitions. We perceive the world by the possibilities of our lexicon - we hardly perceive what's beyond the sphere of enunciation (we know something exists, because art - it's its purpose - can create objects beyond reasonable definitions. That brings us to Emmanual Kant: it is possible (in logic) that something exists beyond our limits of perception (the numeno), but that we will never be able to speak about it - because they are in the EXTERIOR landscape of what our language allows us to speak upon. And that's why Wittgenstein said that when we cannot speak of what we know (that which is in the limits of our capability of description), we must go by in silence.

- very good. It IS all about language. The world is made of language, as McKenna said, before dying, forever.mikotondria3
