Sounds like Russell's old Theory Of Types and that always seemed like
throwing out the baby with the bath water. Russell claims that "This
sentences is written in English" is meaningless, and yet I somehow manage to
extract meaning from it. An even greater sin according to Russell would be
"In this post I express my agreement with the Theory Of Types" because both
"this" and "I" are forbidden. Thus even if you agree with the theory you are
not allowed to say so. Talk about censorship!
