Laws of Growth of a Pile

I can attest that a pile has its own laws of growth: Pathos, Ethos & Logos (sometimes) & randomicity.
I am, of course talking about a pile of words or any pile that becomes amorphous and may suffer growing pains in the process; often losing context, and a train of thought or feeling & subsuming chaos or anarchy. I have hitherto resisted but now I celebrate it with glee.

Slurp! - lick the spoon.

incidentally if you are using the Zen wisdom not to look at the map rather than the thing mapped by pissing on the map, you are throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I'm going to call this a conversation pile - the outer pile resembling the inner pile resembling the internet pile & the political pile, the M$M pile etc.
In short & in riming slang it shall henceforth be called chyle.

Well anything that could be described as a "pile" will grow just according to the intentions of the people piling something there. I fail to see what that has to do with pathos, ethos, and logos.

A sentence, or a paragraph, or a book is not a pile of words. It is a composition. But I can certainly understand how it would appear to be an amorphous pile were somebody not to understand the language or intentionally refuse to parse and guess what the writer meant by composing it.

I fear your celebration of hearing a composition as a amorphous pile of words with glee is the same kind of thing as glorifying playing RWG as some kind Zen.

Whatever you intent actually is, over here I experience your pilology just as hostility and disrespect towards what I am trying to say ... like blasting loud static on the radio when i am talkin softly.

Thanks for your contribution to the pile. Whether or not it relates to the topic is what shows up in your own mind, rwg parser, or something other metaprogram you are running, random or not.

Thanks

more interesting might be my worm pile ... just piled more on top ... hard to get a side view of the strata though.

it (a colloquialism) is usually called a can of worms by some ...

good for the soil
makes good fertilizer (worm poop tea)
worm poop

...

it is interesting to note that we do not find significance in the actual social relationship of worm to worm to decaying vegetable ... er, not specifically. we look at the pile and do not see that worm X123 is eating matter A123 and ingnoring worm X243 around which it is squirming ... lol.

Yet with words those kind of relationships are Paramount and *represent* relationships in some other world.

Saying the latter is like the former is a lie.

No lies on my side of your birdie.
I've done everything from studying an individual earth worm under a microscope & other species in zoology class to noting the fact that eath worms are hermaphrodites . One earthworm can mate with any other one that can mate. It is a matter of focus: the one or the many. The science channel had a program I watched once on how earthworms are fed & the poop harvested. It is quite a business now. [see my: item 4190] & shove your birdie back in your can.

Your lie is where you call my carefully worded paragraphs "a pile of words".

- still a pile of words no matter how careful you are in putting them there.

note bene: since you can't find "the truth" you can't find a lie either! If you call me or my postings a lie again I will just delete them without comment. You love, it seems, to whip out the lie word every chance you ego gets ruffled. BUT NOT ON MY POSTS! Please
RWG is noted.

still a pile of words no matter how careful you are in putting them there.

now it's your birdie who is talking. Obviously is is not a pile to me. Maybe it is a pile to you. I am sorry for you recent nausea towards words, but that feeling is just in you, and were you honest you would not put it on everybody else as you have done in your sentence above.

See [this: item 17219] for how I use the word birdie. Otherwise you are just "piling on"
