Everybody is saying the same thing as everybody else: I’m going turn this into a theoretical starting point. It’s better than the founding principles or telos of any other mode of thought. It’s both paradoxical and pragmatic: we’re always saying the same thing as everybody else but it’s never quite the same; and, yet, we could posit degrees of approximation in any utterance or sample. ESTSTAEE is literally the case on the originary scene, even though it must have only been “posited” there—part of the paradox is that everyone is saying that everyone is saying the same thing. So, why does it sound like people are saying so many different things? Because we have to say the same thing as everyone else under the scenic or infrastructural conditions of the saying and those infrastructural conditions are part of what is said. We say the same thing as everybody else so that we don’t do the same thing as everybody else at the same time. Everything is like everything else, which is the continuous analogue world; the same thing that everybody says to everybody else is naming the other who commands us to refrain from doing everything at the same time—that is the digital world, same/other, discretized and present. But saying is always a kind of doing, and doing is always a kind of saying: we can trust the world’s languages, all of which, according to Anna Wierzbicka, agree that “say” and “do” refer to different things, while also finding those pedagogical points of undecidability between the two worthy of special attention.
