Language affects perception. Perception affects reality.

Posted on at • views

In response to the comment "Who cares about semantics." on Hacker News I wrote:

Language affects perception. Perception affects reality. Especially in human constructs like law and culture.

But I first had the thought and the phrase "Language affects perception. Perception affects reality." in my head well over ten years ago without writing it down.  I doubt it is original.
