a preston<p>I'm half-joking, but I have always been convinced that there is something unintentionally puzzling (from the standpoint of philosophy of language) about the following line from Bob Marley's "Smoke Two Joints" - </p><p>"I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more" </p><p>Did Marley smoke four total joints, referencing the latter two twice? Or did he smoke six total joints? It turns on what point of time the "then" refers back to. </p><p>Yes, this is very inane but I've been confused about this every time I've heard this song for like 20 years!

Mike Lensi<p>In other words, translation is easier among concepts which more readily hook onto the actual world, not just the exclusively human cultural world.
