Dear list members,
I am in the process of working with some colleagues on the design/creation
and possible replication of certain memes which are meant to be for the
benefit of increased flow and improved/ease of communication, and would like
to have your opinions and comments on this issue.
The first meme we came up with is called : eIe (pronouced like eye)
meaning definition of eIe : eIe is a term used to designate the reality I
perceive, it is a combination of the " I" standing for self, in the sense of
core of reflection and eye, in the sense of the physical organ used to apply
the action of sight or vision. it differs from "I" in that <eIe> emphasizes
the fact that whatever follows is fundamentally and irreducebly subjective.
Moreover for those interested in the semantics and semiotics of
applicability of meaning I would add that eIe should be used when
specifically meaning to negate the supposed alieness of the self to its
surrounding. thus in fact eIe can stand also for I the interconnected one.
examples of possible usage:
1. I am that eIe am--- as dinstinct from I am that I am
2. eIe am love--- as distinct from I love.... (fill the blank)
3. eIe am anger--- as distinct from I am angry
It is our opinion that the usage of such a meme could add value to
communication by being/or becoming an accepted form of taking full
responsability for one's life. Moreover it may by its irreducible
subjectivity become an eIe opener.
comments, questions , suggestions, are more than welcome.
best,
Tyger
