This is how written language works:
writer-->intention-->medium-->reader-->meaning
meaning comes from the reader
because of this, all that shit they tell you in High School and
College about the meaning of some old fart's works like Charles Dickens or
J.D. Salinger, or Robert Frost or Anne Sexton (ha, I wrote sex) is total
bullshit. Meaning comes from you, and fuck whatever Anne Sexton thought I
was reading, because her name had sex in it, her work must. I'll find it
even if she didn't put it there. Here's a good example.
Poem #666
Where is God? Where is Satan? Who is Bill Clintion?
that's the entire poem. I think you've already assumed that the poem
number had relevance to the poem, and that somehow God and Satan or maybe
just Satan is applied to bill clinton. HA!!
I wish I could Show you this thing I have, but It'd have to be
scanned and that's a pain in the ass. basically, I took a piece of computer
paper and wrote the word "SEX" in huge bold letters on the top of it. then
I drew some random lines and squiggles and shit to make it look kind of like
writing, except that it was random. I then gave the paper to a girl and
asked her what it said. She said the random letters meant "Lick Jenny".
I realize that maybe now you're thinking "well, she was just fucking
around with you".
I assure she was not, I did the experiment in several different ways,
and I even saw in the random lines what she did to form those words.
interesting.
so, I hope I"ve established that meaning comes from the reader.
Charles Dickens wrote some Really boring shit. really really boring
shit.
I think eastern and western philosophy are so different because they
were developed using languages which expressed different things. If you
taught someone from birth, english, and gave them no contact with the world,
but taught them english and based the meaning of every word on another word,
they would be able to speak with you about anything, but if you gave them a
shoe they wouldn't know what the fuck it was.
Kind of like helen keller. Language was just a "game" to her until
she found out what water was.
Language is funny in that way. it's just a label for actual things.
they're horrible labels too.
you'll never be able to think things that can't be expressed by
english.
funny thought. the more you eliminate english, the broader your
horizons, even though I kind of defeat that by writing this. funny topic, I
wrote a short story about it you might be able to see in the future.
labels for everything. they're inaccurate and I just labeled them
(them's a label for something too). That's why I get pissed off about the
philosophy club at my school. they say: well, what's better: living in
nature or living "synthetically".
that's a bunch of bullshit. better is subjective, ill defined, and
even the definition will be ill defined into a loop or infinity.
natural is a label for some subjective concept of nature. ill
defined. ill defined.
definition is a label of expansion of meaning. another label.
stupid.
synthetically:who the fuck can say what is synthetic. another label
to a subjective concept. that's why I hated the class. so friggin' fruity.
composed by a bunch of flakes who think they have something going. I just
labeled them. I don't care, all I know is I don't like them and in the end I
will beat them. After I figure out a way to call them stupid without
calling them stupid. kind of like a politician.
interviewer: Politician, what is your name?
Politician: Well, my name is 3 words composed of letters. I plan to
revonate my name and give names to everyone with a low
rate of tax.
stupid.
stupid backwards is diputs.
if you minus the us from diputs you get dipt
if you at a shi to it, it's dipshit. funny.
then next time someone tells you you didn't understand something that
was written down, GIVE THEM THE FINGER!!!!!!!!!
meaning comes from the reader.
I know this. a girl sent me a wonderful note which said exactly what
I just said in different words. i didn't capture the intention of the
writer and I thought it was flaky, but THAT DOESN"T MATTER.
i figured it out on my own anyway. language is a fickle bitch.
this is because every word comes with a different connotation for
every person so 10 people could read this poem:
SEX
ORGASM
and have different feelings about it. even though the writer had a
certain intention.
fuck you, old fart teachers of AP ENGLISH. you try to ruin poetry
for everyone. skanchen my ass. it's all subjective.
my meaning is wrong? fuck you.
meet mr. BIRDY
hahaha, that's right, my finger's up and it says FUCK YOU
and that's not subjective.
