He&#x27;s talking about the words we use - that they are just symbols, and are only representative of the observations made, and are not the actual thing being described, itself.  We call it a &#x27;brain&#x27;, but it is so much more than that, and the more we look at it - the more we need to invent new symbols in order to describe what we&#x27;re looking at.  In fact, words are not the things they describe - words are just abstract symbols, and concepts which we attempt to communicate about.  They aren&#x27;t the actual thing.<p>So yes, bullshit.  Fallacy.  Lies.  You get the point, entirely.  We cannot use anything but a new word - which is, basically, a lie until everyone believes it (i.e. we all have the same abstract agreement about what the word means).  No word is the thing it describes.  So we really only have handles, or pointers, to reality .. and that is not the same.
