Without metaphor, no consciousness. We would just run around as hallucinating animals getting evolutionary instruction from our right brain and instinctually react to stimuli and live as tribal, pack-like primate animals eating berries and poking each other in the butt with sticks.

With metaphor, we have /sci/.

Any questions?

wait, do you mean metaphor or analogy? or what's the one that is an allegory? I always get those confused.

A metaphor is like a simile. It's analogous to a allegory when analyzed.

a metaphor is a euphemism for a non-rigorous approximation

A metaphor is a reference to existence and not a specific account as separate.

The grass is like the man who mows it (in existence).

If man separates himself

'I am not like grass'

It destroys the metaphor.

It assumes some sort of free unity that doesn't impede on anyone's wants and is mostly an expression of such.

"What I like to say" is what I like to say.
