TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Quote from: CainNo, but I forgot what the branch of philosophy that thought all problems were based in language were called.  If they weren't Log. Pos. then they were close ot it.

Love is General Semantics.

That wasn't the exact system I was thinking of, but it will do.

Love bears a striking resemblance to that e-prime crap?

I honestly cant remember.  I thought it was Logical Positivism, but apparently it isn't.  It was one of the philosophies related to it though, built upon Wittgenstein's theories and so on.

I think most of the worlds conflics and problems are based in bad communications which is based upon misunderstanding of the others languaculture. NOT Log. Positism, but I would like to know what that branch is called.
i once read an awesome book about this subject called Language and the Pursuit of Truth [zipped txt] again, i didn't get all the way through the end, but the first few chapters are quite interesting (words as signs, arguing about the meaning of a word instead of the actual statement being made, etc)

INFORMATION SO POWERFUL, YOU ACTUALLY NEED LESS.

Love seems to be an empathic attachment to an object or person, where any hurt, damage, or injury that occurs to one causes mental and emotional pain to the other.

And, in a lesser sense, the same with pleasure.
