Episode notes
We have this marvelous tool that is language, but sometimes it isn't enough to adequately convey our emotions and the way that we perceive the world. If there was a separate word for every possible experience, a blue, then we would be using different words and we would never communicate. So it's the fact that language abstracts away from the fine details of experience. The trade-off is, as you say, language will not capture the fine grain of experiences.
