    Mainly I am referring to the presupposition that the
    non-intellectual/non-linguistic is ontologically prior to the
    intellectual/linguistic. (That it is temporally prior is not a problem once
    one realizes that the non-spatio-temporal is ontologically prior to the
    spatio-temporal. Pages of justification omitted, but quantum physics is a
    nice place to start.)
