so very strange that mark says he is “immune to empty slogans”, yet he propagates, almost verbatim, all of the #meme’s of the #AmericanPoliticalRight.

Mark de LA says
As do you, seth for the left. Maybe true, maybe bullshit. Who knows? Who cares? I express my attitude toward an excuse that something is just a slogan as if that is something to behold. Silly me, I actually liked the meme in the original but went beyond it.

Not much communication here though.

Seth says
i do not get that you went beyond the slogan … except to say that it was only a slogan … which is very true indeed.

… but hey, i may have missed it .. what did you say about the slogan except that it was only a slogan? ← i am truly curious … because going beyond that slogan is what we want to do indeed!

Mark de LA says
must have #MissedThePoint about my

Now we’ll have to figure out what real deeply & richly communication really is.

Seth says
well i think we are doing that by doing that. i doubt that an intellectual definition of it in advance will help.

Mark de LA says
Nobody said anything necessarily tethered to “intellectual definition” – such might be silly.

Seth says
👍

Seth says
the first thing that leaped into my mind when you said that was … “figuring out” what got in the way of it …. and then i remembered how our threads decay … so maybe “figuring out” how not to allow our threads to decay would qualify as going beyond the slogan … huh? ← which was actually what was in my mind when i clicked

in response to your initial comment.

Mark de LA says
Step back for a moment & consider there are other ways to communicate besides a pile of words. Good example are 21930 and 22012 which teach something to the emotions of communication – easier than intellectualization .

Seth says
Hey! any media or representations which facilitate communication can eventually be used here.

deriding language as “a pile of words” is just expressing your own #aug. Continually projecting that to the rest of us is not helping us communicate in English at all.

Mark de LA says
Using the word #aug or #ug simply fits your own #RWG nothing intrinsic in going for Hemingway rather than Joyce except less drag on your database. It is in reality a call for brevity & thinking clearly when you speak.

Seth says
👍

Seth says
i absolutely love brevity

.

Like Mozart … “just as many notes required” … no more … no less.

Mark de LA says
?

Seth says
oh what … did i cut out too many notes?

Seth says

#TooManyNotes

Si says
👍

Mark de LA says
An argument for verbosity - dear bro?
Anyway when the pile gets to big I just ignore yours as a filibuster or , heavens forbid

a rwg.
