language fidelity fallacy
language fidelity fallacy is the fallacy of treating language as medium that can express an aspect of reality perfectly or with very high fidelity.
language is an intrinsic and fundamental part for how humans process and navigate reality. Because of it, is very easy to fall trap into the illusion that what language expresses is no different from reality itself and not a just a projection, hence producing the language fidelity fallacy.
language can only express what is inside the mind-body system of a subject, which implies that it had to be observed first, but reality can't be observed as it is and the experiential reality can't be communicated.
language discreteness also prevents expressing the continuos nature ofreality.
language fidelity fallacy is a form of intellectual hypocrisy.
