William; you have a million more words at your command than I. Perhaps read hundreds more books than I. But this is how I understand it.
Our cognition of every thing we experience from birth, seems to always remains as individual experiences, perhaps because we are unable to express any thing, identically, even if we try. Since Words are not of a universal nature, they appear to remain more abstract because they are man made and learned from a different source. They start out simple and seem to acquire multiple meanings the more you use them. Where universal things usually have an identity,words remain relatively abstract,with less identity. So it seems to me. mando ________________________________ From: William Conger <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, July 19, 2010 5:02:39 PM Subject: Re: Invalidity of Cheerskep's Argument How can you constantly make summative statements without ever offering a shred of evidence? I ask the same question of Mando. If you say such and such is so then you need to tells why. Otherwise we are simply left with your unsupported pronouncements. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: Boris Shoshensky <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, July 19, 2010 10:18:21 AM Subject: Re: Invalidity of Cheerskep's Argument To call words and human activities unnatural is a philosophical mistake.

Words are man made. once learned, they remain more relatively abstract in meaning than natural objects. ab ________________________________ From: William Conger <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, July 15, 2010 5:09:21 PM Subject: Re: Invalidity of Cheerskep's Argument Humming is metaphorical because it stands for a bodily state. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Thu, July 15, 2010 7:03:21 PM Subject: Re: Invalidity of Cheerskep's Argument In a message dated 7/15/10 6:32:16 PM, [email protected] writes: > On 7/15/10 5:33 PM, "William Conger" <[email protected]> wrote: > > All symbolic communication is metaphorical. > wc > You could hum a few bars...
