And THIS is what the goddamned-"We are in Hell"-- modern, paranoia-justifying,  'controlling' age of deadly spying and mutual betrayal has destroyed?

  Laura quoted: 
  "one references this dossier of two-dimensional map shapes,
which are invariant, and wordlessly familiar as a human face.  They are
also common in dreams, as you may have noticed." 
   
  And I stumbled upon this, accidently,with seemingly exact echoes of 
  the above (or else Kute Korrespondences are everywhere)

  "Ludwig Wittgenstien's  later philosophy retains both of these
characteristics, but it offers no theory and it draws a different
map. The various modes of thought are placed side by side on the new
map, which does not actually show the third dimension.(!)
It must be read against a deep background of dream and illusion
(!), but all that it actually shows is the pattern of our liguistic practices, Any
philosophical question is to be answered by bringing it down to the
level of these facts about language."    ---from David Pears book
  on Ludwig Wittgenstein.
   
  The quoted section from AtD, refers to "wordlessly familiar as a human face".......?
  Is this TRP stating something about the traditional society's 'forms of life" out
  of which language is born????
