And since everyone, at all times, is absent from all whom are not in the immediate vicinity, this means we are all communicating with the universe of those who are not there. Or 'Here'. Wherever 'there' or 'here' is. And we should all be thankful that silence is a form of communication, otherwise we'd all be nuttier than we are, due to the constant cacophony to which we'd be subject, no matter where we were. Or 'are'. And this concludes 'Philosophical Communication 101'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558118390114549284.post-62993457521627688732009-01-17T23:11:00.000+00:002009-01-17T23:11:00.000+00:00It's at least as difficult to see our own mirror. ...It's at least as difficult to see our own mirror. For if we attempt to examine ourselves, we must use our brain as the microscope. And if our microscope has a flaw, it will be reflected in our mirror, probably rendering it invisible, at least to us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558118390114549284.post-26647504910842727842009-01-17T18:04:00.000+00:002009-01-17T18:04:00.000+00:00Problem is that we see and communicate trough a mi...Problem is that we see and communicate trough a mirror.

As the great linguist Lenny Bruce demonstrated, all words have at least two meanings, the one intended by the speaker/writer, the one heard by the listener/reader. If a malevolent mutt like Gingrich comes along, and purposely perverts the language, the terms, in a particular field, such as republican politics, which he did, by assigning opposite meanings to words, then the language becomes not a tool of communication, but a means of obfuscation, purposefully misleading. Which makes it perfect for hypocritical, mendacious Cabals, such as the current, just departing, NeoConZionist-controlled US administration. Not that the US is free of this cabal, but it's influence has been lessened a bit, in the Executive branch of the US government. At least, we hope so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
