Ever get bitten by a concept?
Head in the tigers mouth.
You're fortunate to still have your head ... or was that just a conceptual tiger.

No. I've never been bitten by a "dog". Words can't bite.
Semiotics.... Signifier vs signified.

But a far more pertinent question is thus: Have you been bitten by a concept?
Yes! They can.
I see you get bitten by ignorance rather frequently.

No. I've never been bitten by a "concept" or a "dog".
Words can't bite. The thing the words point to.
You is/are a word.
A tooth (word) cannot bite itself.
Words can only point to another thing. Words cannot point to the no thing in which they arise...are known conceptually....it'd be like trying to point to silence by filling it up with words.

Concepts can point to other concepts.
That's how metacognition works.

Only ignorance is original...everything else is illusory secondary knowledge, heresy.

Are you sure it was a tiger? There aren't many of those in the USA.

Nothing signifying itself. Much-a-do about nothing..Freedom from the burden of knowing.
When nothing is known. Everything is known.

What do you think the gist of your above posting signifies?
Or, are gists just illusions.
