God Bless the Whole World

Ways of Talking
about  Ways of Thinking
 
"God Bless the Whole World."
"God Damn the Whole World."
 
“The opposite of a profound truth is an
other profound truth,” says Neils Bohr,
Nobel Physicist, “and the opposite of a
trivial truth is a contradiction.“
 
Are we dealing with profundity or
triviality here? paradox or contradiction?
Or merely practicing dialectic?
 
“I see we are approaching  paradox,” Bohr
would announce, “We must be making progress.”
 
“The damned moral sense,”  said Mark Twain
on occasion. Was be being descriptive or
judgmental? 
 
What’s the difference?
What’s the relationship?
 
What’s the difference between “aesthetics” and “ethics”?
Between seeing and saying how-it-is and how-it-should be?
Between observation and judgment?
 
Are these distinctions differences that make a difference?
(I feel slight anxiety growing merely putting these notions
in play).
 
“Euphemism” is the term characterizing effort to say what
can’t be said because saying it generates ill-will, bad feelings,
hostility, threat,  political incorrectness. Ane yet, still,
indicating, indexing.  

What’s the term for saying what can’t be said because it
can’t be said without reduction,  injustice, collapse &
and conflation like flattening a sphere, say, into circles
and circularities and so—to say it is a crime against
the whole if not the holy?
 
What can’t be said and must not, yet still  needs to be said,
has to be said—can not be not said, know what I mean?.
 
Is there a term for that?.  A way of talking that talks about
what can’t be talked about and must?  
 
“Look, we know we can’t be talking about this and
must not as it’s impossible to do justice and any
seeming clarity merely compounds the problem and
its impossibility so can we just do the best we can?
May we?

Is what we have here a language problem.
It's inadequacy? Need a term coined:
an innovation. How to talk about
how to think about what can’t
be talked  about—yet must.

"School Mode," stuff--not your
"Church" and "State" modes.
There's a difference.
