She seems like an interesting woman who led a full life though her writing
style is not quite my cup of tea. Doing a bit of research I see William
James was one of her teachers and mentors. He encouraged her writings
though apparently they were never quite on the same page, so to speak.
Thank you for the reference.

I would say words always have meaning, otherwise they're gibberish. Now,
whether or not they convey the intended meaning is questionable if taken
out of context.

Also, I think the MOQ would say we are continually defining not only words
but all static patterns that arise from experience. You may want to define
'writing.' I for one am not particularly captivated by the German language
though I do from time to time use Google Translator to discover what
someone is trying to say to me.

Yes, I was aware she was a student of William James.  That makes a nice story, 
doesn't it?  

I was more wondering what affect words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. have on 
human beings if they do not have access to their meaning like in a collage.  
Will they try to discover the meaning?  Does the above represent writing?

Re: [MD] Art and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

2013-12-27 Thread Dan Glover
According to the MOQ, we're submerged in culture. Intellectual patterns, or
meaning, arises from social values, or context. If we used binary code in a
cultural setting then the above represents writing. To me, it doesn't. It's
just a bunch of 1s and 0s.

Taking a book and making a work of art from it changes the intellectual
value, wouldn't you say? It's sort of like a kidnapper cutting letters from
ads and pasting them together to form a ransom note. The meaning is there
but it has been changed from its original intent.
