The clearest direct claim is if there are no contradictions then language is impossible.
Language is not a "reflection of reality" in any way shape or form: reality is always specific, language is always arbitrary.
We're currently in a neurodynamic/neurobiological overthrow of psychodynamic principles that obviates in presocrats onwards.
The fact is language has nothing really to do with reality and has only to do with subjective biases that arbitrarily perform gibberish in the stead of status-gain, control, etc (pick any primate bias that Aristotle onwards was unconscious to).
“We refute (based on empirical evidence) claims that humans use linguistic representations to think.”
