If you want the shortest possible abstract, it's about how we represent thoughts with words and that communication is meaningless unless someone else uses the same set of words for the exact same set of thoughts. The punchline is essentially this LW post and this fallacy but I think it builds up to it more slowly and in a way that I was thinking about before I read most of the LW stuff on the subject.
