Appology: So Much to Read and So Little Time to do so and the Thing I like Most about the Gulch.
Thanks to all for all the Great Articles and for sharing vital information.
If we missed your piece, please forgive, there is so much here.
I think I speak for us all when I say: Frequently, If we have not the time to read or are already familiar with the article, most of us, Time willing, will give you a thumbs up if not a comment, so don't be discouraged...
KEEP POSTIN...
It struck me this Morning that the thing I love the most about the Gulch is the Plethora of Flying Metaphors in our copy book headings and comments. So many bright and creative people here...it's Awesome.
I personally thank all for your participation...

Just a minor question: these were great poems, but did the author mean to use "ether" when they used "either" in the third and fourth poems?
Also, the author should have used "affected" rather than "effected" in the second poem as they are referring to an outcome.
You must be better at lining up pre-existing type than I am...
Thanks so much...Now, if The gulch program will allow me to delete Two! picts...I can usually get away with deleting one...sometimes after many reboots...laughing.
Gota get a better meme making program too.
Oh, not to be picky, but the "either" in two of the images probably should be "ether".

I have a problem with metaphor being used in science and philosophy. To me metaphor is a slippery slope sliding into using some of the fallacies of 'stolen concepts', 'frozen abstractions', and 'floating abstractions'.
"The Choices Our Culture Offers
" We have given an account of the way in which truth is based on understanding. We have argued that truth is always relative to a conceptual system, that any human conceptual system is mostly metaphorical in nature, and that, therefore, there is no fully objective, unconditional, or absolute truth. To many people raised in the culture of science or in other subcultures where absolute truth is taken for granted, this will be seen as a surrender to subjectivity and arbitrariness—to the Humpty-Dumpty notion that something means "just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." For the same reason, those who identify with the Romantic tradition may see any victory over objectivism as a triumph of imagination over science—a triumph of the view that each individual makes his own reality, free of any constraints."
That objectivism is the general concept as opposed to concept of subjectivism.
Memes are not necessarily about Universal truths, yet mostly about an observable truth that a society can share and relate to.
subjectivism is really only valuable to the one viewing a subject. Ex. I dislike the color fire engine red...that is true. But it is not a Universal truth that could be applied to all situations, to all things or humans.
Thanks, I'll check out the book.
