are you sure you're not thinking of choads
― j., Monday, 28 November 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
choads are always acknowledged as such, if not in their own time

i actually don't believe that. or the derrida quote i posted or the shelley one.

seems to me, if there's a piece of furniture out there that would know about choads, it would be a Swopper Saddle

Are we sure it's not spelled chode?

Whereas in the premodern era words were the thing and the word lamppost was a lamppost and the modernists broke that things apart by introducing subjectivity such that my lamppost wasn't your lamppost but they were both in some sense lampposts and then because of Hitler linguists got disenchanted. and postwar lamppost theorists said no a lamppost can be an idea of a lamppost or a perversion or mermutation of a lambroast, and then the seventies came along and a lamppost was kissin' cousins to a lamprey and a lamprey was a fish and therefore taxonomically a lamppost is a kind of fish QED and semantic logic was faulty and succeptible to deliberate manipulation, and then there was music television and aesthetic appropriation of sincerity and we're all jaded as fuck and sincerity is a dumb game anyway and here comes the internet and what is a troll but a dumb fucking lamppost but when the trolls take over aren't we the trolling lamp posts?

The formulation of the poll question lacks all nuance, subtlety and complexity, whereas the relationship between words and meanings is replete with all three. Given the choice of either accepting this wretched formulation without reservation. rejecting it out of hand, or straddling the fence to no purpose at all, I find I must reject it as pitifully inadequate to the job it has been tasked to do.
Therefore, no.

Yes. The real question is do things mean things.

"What is, like, frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say "love," the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this Byzantine conduit in their brain, you know, through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable. And yet, you know, when we communicate with one another, and we feel that we've connected, and we think that we're understood, I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for". - Waking Life

I was reading RazorCake magazine #93 earlier this morning, and Todd Taylor wrote in the opening editorial, "To be happy, we need people to love, something to do, and something to look forward to. "
Those words meant something to me, and I'm sure they meant something to the writer, but any promise I make to do better doesn't matter. We are known by our deeds.
