so is everything we understand just symbols of reality? if so what's a symbol, and what is the definition context we use to define symbols, and what is the system used to define that definition context? what is the definition context of that sytem used to define that definition context we use to define symbols we use to define reality?

Knowledge's "point" is to delude you into thinking existance has meaning and purpose.

If knowledge as in information pertaining to the external world - corruption. If knowledge as in information pertaining to the internal world - salvation.
