Words are not real

 There is no such thing as proof unless it is trivial (deductive) - all bachelors are unmarried men. All inductive arguments use premisses that are unprovable (all swans are white). Furthermore, all the words we use in arguments are abstractions from reality (re-presentation of the presented world) and are not real. So, all our explanations (theory's) about the nature of the world (from the existence of god to electrons) can only be judged in terms of their usefulness (pragmatism) in various areas that practically concern us; physical, political, spiritual. We can enjoy these sorts of stories, and but logic is not essential to elicit a feeling of joy!
