942 - Suspension of Suspension of Disbelief

We invent these entities, then forget we invent them. We fail to defer suspension of disbelief. Language. Mind. Self. Good, useful terms, up to the limits of their usefulness, but don't mistake them for anything real. Defer.

And maybe not really apropos of the above, but today I am again amused at the attempts to deny having metaphysical assumptions by statements such as Whereof one cannot speak..., which some have taken as "Metaphysicians, shut up."
