The Metagame

CHAPTER

Language, Control, and Cognitive Freedom

This chapter examines the philosophical implications of language through Wittgenstein's lens, focusing on how language can shape perceptions and potentially control reality. It contrasts 'word cells' who manipulate narratives with 'shape rotators' who prioritize objective truths, addressing the consequences of language distortion. Additionally, the conversation highlights the connection between the body and brain, advocating for a reconnection with nature to counterbalance the distractions of modern technology.
