Unfortunately, we lost Sam Kinison...

He definitely stood over The Void...

I think it's though an interesting question, it is ultimately moot. The point of Heidegger's quote is that all existences (anything, all things, all beings) occurs only in and through language. To be is to be in language. It might be easy to try and draw an inverse relationship of "not-being" with not being in language...but you really can't get very far...can you?

Cheers!

Actually, I was joking.

Sorry...I do think it's a fair question...epistemologically...

Cheers!

Sam Kinison had lots of great stuff. One of my favorites is " I'm not a violent person but I understand what turns Mr hand into Mr Fist!"

Nothing exists without man. Interesting perspective.

...it can simply mean that to discuss or consider existence, in any meaningful way...we are limited by our understanding...which is limited by our language...

 

[nailer]

That is pretty simple. You need to talk/write to communicate ideas and perspectives.

Many spiritual practices aim to take existence past the barriers and limits of language.

Cheerful volunteer wild yellow daffodils appearing last week, I admire their optimism.

A concept to consider, DR.

Our language describes the real world to an extent, but in the mind of the soul, is there a communication that is universal to all?

The other day I talked to my Sheltie. He's above average when it comes to vocab, and isolated ideas with words attached to his world. At times, he surprizes me, showing some understanding of things above his IQ barrier. Mind you, his talents in some of the other senses, far surpass mine. Like we taught him to tell time, and around the supper event, he will check the wall call before he starts vocalizing... just in case I've forgotten this aspect of feeding.

Money, I give it before I'd lend it.

Where life starts and ends is fluid. We often assume it is way too early, and we often don't recognize when people are functionally dead.

 

[nailer]

Said fluidity is sophistry.

Made me think bout "birth" and "death" (clinical).

With birth it often is measures in hours. With "death, it's usually within minutes.


Just random thoughts.

Well, indeed, in many ways they are.
