Concrete Unicorns

"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically." - Thoreau

Langauge, not!

I spent the stroll to uni pondering what a language without negation would be like. You wouldn't be able to distinguish between someone meaning what they said and the opposite of what they said. But I'm more interested to hear what you think, so, thoughts anyone?
