Chapter 33: The Biggest Things That Aren't Real

Why do people read and write?
This may sound like a stupid question, and it probably is, but that doesn't make it any easier to answer.
I suppose the obvious answer is "they read and write in order to COMMUNICATE."
You see, I wrote the word COMMUNICATE in capital letters so that you would notice it.
So why do people communicate?
I suppose there are as many answers to that question as there are possible things that one can COMMUNICATE. In other words, people communicate because: INFINITY.
INFINITY is the number of things you can possibly communicate. Communication is limited only by expression and comprehension: EVERYTHING that there is.
EVERYTHING is exactly what it means: EVERY THING. Not just some THINGS, but ALL THINGS.
A THING is harder to define. A THING is single and individual, but it can be made up of many smaller THINGS. For example, a spring is a THING, but it is composed of smaller THINGS called molecules, and each molecule is a THING made up of still smaller THINGS called atoms, which are made of still smaller THINGS called protons, neutrons, electrons and nuclei!!!
Eventually, we're going to discover that THINGS aren't really THINGS.
They're WORDS.
NOW, is a WORD a THING?
or is a THING a WORD?
I suppose a THING is technically a WORD because it's something you can say, write, and use as a part of LANGUAGE...sometimes. There are also THINGS that can't be put into WORDS.
But a WORD is also a THING because it's a single unit, in a very vague sense.
This is much too confusing. LANGUAGE is too wobbly a platform to discern items upon.
Lets use MATH!!!
THING=1
EVERYTHING=Ω
INFINITY=∞
