Hello my friend!

 

I found a future page on Wikipedia for Allgemeine Semantik ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  >

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Allgemeine_Semantik&action=edit&redlink=1

(if you feel like creating it of course)

 

I actually already replied to your long message a few days ago but my browser crashed so I had to retype it or leave it for later.Now is later even if I don't have a lot of time.

In this crashed message began explaining how I felt towards the idea of the "reliability feeling" I can have towards another person (allowing him/her a certain number of "credits"). About the amount of them I probably gave 100 on 100 to my mother when I was a baby. This quantity was reduced in proportions of my increased ability of analysis and criticism (criticism at its peak when I was a teenager...). One can think "of course but it is a detail! ". Nonetheless when it comes to stopping (or not) along the motorway to take this hitchhiker or not, it can possibly have significant consequences can't it ? So when I say "yes I agree to become a (net) friend with this person" it is difficult to evaluate the amount of credits I decide to give to the person. I don't know why but I find this topic very important nowadays.

I was wondering if you were "caught towards" GS with the books of AE Van Vogt (The world of Null-A) ?

I can say in my case reading it was my first serious contact with GS. And I suppose for French speaking people, it can be a first step into a real non elementalistic way of thinking. (It has been translated at the time by Boris VIAN, famous french writer,etc. )

Thanks for your clean start. I consider that the more you get to know people around you the more you can possibly build something with them.

To explain my comment (9th June), I must admit I felt surprised to see that you hardly speak about yourself in your answers. Mind you one could also give plenty of words without saying a lot about herself/him~. How do you call General Semantics in Germany? Do you get any organization with members in this field? In France, I know Société Française de Sémantique Générale (still active), European Society of General Semantics (active in between 1996 and 2003, I think).

Howdy, Arno! I'm glad to see you here. What have you been up to since we last talked?

Welcome aboard Arno.
We share the same boarder apparently...
Do you like the art mouvement called minimalism?
;-)
Luc.
