Language is constructed for multiple reasons, but let’s consider two ways it functions.
Language systems, such as math, attempt to map and make communicable the patterns found in the world. We call these objective scientific facts, though they are constantly being disputed and refined.
Another type of language, like gossip or emotional bonding, is akin to primate grooming: fostering social hierarchies. Furthermore, they establish symbolic ideology tied to identity, such as politics or religion, allowing for intersubjective alignment: we call these social constructs, some of which are subjective.
To delineate, there is revealed truth (fact) and created social constructs (opinion) that can have enough power to manifest as functional truth.
Interestingly, a lie or “alternate category” can have power, feel like truth, and be maintained as fact. This is why we return to science and investigate reality to reveal the lies through discovery, not additional fabrication.
And yet, no one wants to live in a brutal reality without moral social constructs, like justice and mercy, seldom found in the animal kingdom. To be overly logical is to become a brute and risk expulsion from communion, which realistically expels truth for stability and social cohesion. This is also a truth in it’s consequences.
