If words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure, and structure alone.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Alfred Korzybski who was a bit of a maverick. He had a unique way of looking at the world and wasn't afraid to challenge the status quo. He was a polymath, an expert in many different fields, and he had a passion for language, semantics, and the study of how words and symbols shape our thinking. He was a true pioneer in the field of general semantics, and his theories and ideas continue to influence many today. So if you ever find yourself stuck in a rut of thinking, remember Alfred Korzybski and how he thought outside the box!
