Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Because the set of all possible linguistic constructions is countable, we can never fully understand the uncountable.

Music is as close to uncountable as we can attain; each frequency is an x in R, with its own unique value. Truth lies in music. Idk I'm just being a fag.

Reminder that Burroughs was 100% right, language is literally gay niggers from outer space that infects your cells and changes the way your DNA functions. It uses us to propagate itself, while sealing our thoughts within a mode of representation, beyond which thought becomes impossible.
