Do you think that thinking is undefinable ? If thinking is definable, then all statements about it aren't unverifiable.

Caveat: if thinking is definable, then not all statements about it are unverifiable.

Yes, that's a problem of me not being a native english speaker. "All x aren't y" may mean "not all x are y" in my tongue. Not a single x is y is more what we would say in the previous case. But in our case we would say there are x that aren't y.

If thinking is definable, it is wrong that all statements about it are unverifiable (i.e. there are statements about it that are verifiable.)

Well, basic shit.
