Rae ForneyHOST
Yeah.
Rae ForneyHOST
What do I want to say? Metaphor, symbolism, like all the things.
Rae ForneyHOST
Yeah.
Rae ForneyHOST
Yeah.

John ReedHOST
Thank you.
Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerHOST
So paradox opens us up to what else is here.
Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerHOST
Metaphor opens us up to what else is here so that we think we see what's here.
Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerHOST
And now we switch the metaphor and we're like, oh, my gosh, I see the same thing in a new way.
Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerHOST
So I feel like metaphors help open us up to what else is here or just widening a lens saying, OK, this is what I see in this small little lens.
KatieHOST
Yep.
KatieHOST
Metaphor.
KatieHOST
I don't
TylerHOST
like it.
Johannes HartlGUEST
This is part of logic.
Johannes HartlGUEST
Metaphor is part of even scientific language.
Johannes HartlGUEST
And the same thing, Nietzsche once said, the body is a great intellect as well.
Johannes HartlGUEST
So starting with Descartes 500 years ago, I think even we have, we have drawn like a wedge between the body and rationality, which is not, which is not, not good.
Darcy BallardHOST
In the Legends game.
Darcy BallardHOST
Metaphor.
Darcy BallardHOST
Yeah, about two weeks ago, which was awesome.
Darcy BallardHOST
I've met him before a few times, but that was an awesome experience.
Alex BergHOST
Let's do it.
Alex BergHOST
And so I brought with me today these two books, which are not expressly about what Brian is talking about, but specifically this one, Metaphors We Live By, by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, makes the argument that I'm curious to hear
Brian KimHOST
what your take on this would be.
Alex BergHOST
It kind of makes the argument that language is fundamentally metaphor, in that language is a symbolic representation of reality.
19 MINS LATER
Alex BergHOST
Let's wrap it up there.
Alex BergHOST
Oh, you know what? Before we wrap it up, I am just going to shout out both of these books that I brought in because they're both very good and they're both very different.
Alex BergHOST
So one is Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
Alex BergHOST
George Lakoff, I think of as more of a political writer broadly, but this is a really phenomenal book.
Karin ConroyHOST
And so if you visualize your visual person.
Karin ConroyHOST
That's a good analogy or metaphor.
Joshua LenonGUEST
Metaphor, yeah.
Karin ConroyHOST
Yeah.
Karin ConroyHOST
And I need the visual.
Paul MyersHOST
Yeah, you're an analog tape.
Paul MyersHOST
Metaphor, yeah.
Paul MyersHOST
And you talk about being a prodigious songwriter, and in the book Heartbreaker, which I totally recommend to everyone read your memoir, you do talk about how you're always running something.
Paul MyersHOST
You're always building a track.
Graeme FlettHOST
metaphorical story that is being played out.
Joey MillingtonHOST
Metaphor doesn't mean untrue.
Joey MillingtonHOST
No. Metaphors are true.
Joey MillingtonHOST
But they're more permissive, more expansive.
Joey MillingtonHOST
Yeah, they're open.
