I don't think I've ever been clear about what people mean to assert when they talk about things that don't reduce to physics/math.

SInce you can't actually reduce[*] 99.99% of your vocabulary, you're either so confused you couldn't possibly think or communicate...or you're only confused about the nature of confusion.

[*] Try reducing "shopping" to quarks, electrons and photons.You can't do it, and if you could, it would tell you nothing useful. Yet there is nothing that is not made of quarks,electrons and photons involved.
