Doublethink, rationalization, denial, NOT-AS-IF...

As-If & Not-As-If are contraries, not opposites. The latter is a restriction (sort of--) of the former... All language is first As-If. Nonsense might be construed as the part of As-If [~ As-If] that is not True. For, one arrives at this latter distinction only through empirical testing. Strictly speaking, False shades into Nonsense only by degree of unfamiliarity. "Pigs fly" is a conventional kind of paradox, not more so than "Colorless Green Ideas." But [computer-generated] "it's the it bathed played" contains within it a tug toward metaphor unlike the others.

Rationalism might be called the fallacy of believing language to be a category of description, rather than that description is a special use of language.

Description is As-If-(some) World, just as Ego is As-If-(some) Self.
