Life changing experience

[Helm]

Any description is inherently limited because language is not perfect means of communication. Naturally aspects of what one is trying to communicate will be lost, according to his descriptive ability, but ultimately also because the medium is flawed itself.

Love is a bad example. Love, as the highly romanticised magical fluffy meaning-of-life concept, is a very misleading and ultimately fabricated helpful lie, and I for one do not care to perpetuate it by using it, even as an example. I will not validate this concept in any way. I will instead hold my breath for a full minute until I am all red in the face and have killed proportionally enough brain cells as I would have if I had come to a significant orgasm.

Now let's just say you said 'lust' (or something equally biological) instead so I can make my point. So if somebody is describing lust, he can try to do it using words, which are based on various logical constructions which of course are based on empyrical knowledge, originally. (don't make me elaborate on this, it is boring) He might do a good job of describing lust or not, and yes, if the other person hasn't felt it, it might not mean anything even if he does a good job. But if you're describing something like drug use, you have another problem in that this drug use is altering the foundations of language, which are teh logic. You can not trust sensory perception to be according to any logical assumption, and so you are left with trying to describe A by using A as means of description. Bummer.

Any level of logical description is to a degree flawed, but when describing so fundamentally altering experiences as drug use, you literally have no words to use. And so as an object of philosophical discussion, drugs are a no no.
