“Don’t go to bed if you know that something’s waiting to grab you in the night and throttle hope from your heart. Don’t close your eyes if the ills are fornicating and conceiving of an evil to break you from the start. No, STAY and play with ME. We’ll lock it down and sleep outside, our heads on shoulders. Okay? That’s how it BE; that’s what our love is, and will hold us til we’re older. Don’t go indoors if the walls that are waiting have a way of hindering healing laughter in your chest. And don’t try to speak any words of how you’re hating when the song of how you’re loving is always best. No, STAY and play with ME. We’ll lock it down and sleep outside, our heads on shoulders. Okay? That’s how it BE; that’s what our love is, and will hold us til we’re older. I believe these are end times. Wouldn’t it be best to be together then?

This is the best song to listen to on a quiet, rainy day like today. Or any day, really.
“How can there be an objective reality that exists in part by human agreement? For example, how can it be a completely objective fact that the bits of paper in my pocket are money, if something is only money because we believe it is money? And what is the role of language in constituting such facts? To give you a feel for the complexity of the problem, I want to begin by considering the metaphysics of ordinary social relations. Consider a simple scene like the following. I go into a café in Paris and sit in a chair at a table. The waiter comes and I utter a fragment of a French sentence. I say, “un Demi, Munich, à pression, s’il vous plaît.” The waiter brings me the beer and I drink it. I leave some some money on the table and leave. An innocent scene, but its metaphysical complexity is truly staggering, and its complexity would have taken Kant’s breath away if he had ever bothered to think about such things.”

“I take it to be an analytic truth about language that whatever can me meant can be said. A given language may not have a syntax or a vocabulary rich enough for me to say what I mean in that language but there are no barriers in principle to supplementing the impoverished language or saying what I mean in a richer one.”
—Searle, J.R. Speech Acts; p.17

Definitely using this for all those pesky journal articles…
