Timothy O'Reilly Quote

Korzybski argued that language must be viewed as a map, which is useful only insofar as it is similar to the world it describes. He stressed the importance of questioning the unconscious assumptions built into our language, and urged a response to life on the basis of fresh, first order experience rather than the old experiences that have been crystallized in words and concepts.
