Can you try making a concrete example for your reasoning?



I don't know if I can. What do you mean by concrete?

For me, as soon as I use language, it is symbolic. So even if I were to describe the shape of a rock to you, it is still not a concrete example, unless I give you the rock.

Maybe that sounds absurd, but I am being serious. Can you clarify?
