    Books, books, books …. find them, read them, think about them, write about them and write your own, talk about them with others … and above all HOARD and CHERISH THEM!

    • I love going to Estate Sales and collecting old antique books. I have a stash now in my basement. I only wish I had bigger home for them.

    … Hey, I have an idea … Lets ask a computer (although asking Greta might be roughly equivalent). Oh, wait … I almost forgot …
    computers (or their extensions, so called “intelligent assistants”) aren’t “persons” (sorry H.A.L., Siri, Nina, Lucinda, Bixby et al.,

    … ML … we had one on the Forum. I had started a thread in the Forum for just such a thing that ran for about 2 years.. I, along with several others, had contributed to the thread. The recommendations unfortunately disappeared when the Forum was taken down a few months ago. If you’d like I’d be happy to send you copies of the lists.

    Hmmmmm. “regrets the error.” What exactly is the “nature” of the regret? What SPECIFICALLY do they regret? (e.g. do they regret possibly providing individuals with a FALSE [the acknowledgement of the “error” is in itself an admission that objective facts about the world can be discerned] belief from which they might behave, that they have in…[Read more]

    Always good to know what is going on in the world. This appears to indicate that it is understood that the “New Front” is a Semeiotic one. Why is this important? It is important in that the meaning of a sign (e.g. media images [of all kinds pictorial, linguistic]) is manifest in the interpretation that it generates in sign users with the…[Read more]

    • This reads as an escalation of “Normative Oversight” by the current power structure – a willingness to silence anyone or anything in the name of “Protecting” us against “Virtual Societal Warfare” . I can only end with the following: “Behold Your Masters”!!!

    • “Control the interpretation, control the behavior.” !!Doff!! I’m reminded of phase conjugation (if I understand it correctly): lasers back-propagating the original “shape”, “signature”, or “sign” of the Event. One may argue that we need to back-propagate our original Archetypical Sign meanings, ASAP.

    BINGO! BlakeC. Scarmoge likes this. ML there’s plenty o’folks here. I know it’s not the same … you can’t come over and borrow an egg, a cup of sugar or a lawn mower, nevertheless, via this wonder of the modern world we are in a sense “next door.”

    • No doubt, we are “next door”, in a sense. Though, I would definitely borrow an egg (of wisdom) or two when possible…
