[MD] Noncognitive babble

[X Acto]

See Ian,
It's the power of mythos that lends Logos it's utility.

The meaning of words, is a story generalized down to a single
thought, a word. Which then some folks make the mistake
of reifying. Reification is often a comedic tool used as satire.
My favorite kind as a cartoonist.

My wife and I just started a new girlscout troop along with

a few other parents, we looked up the word "scout"

after I asked them what it means to them.

We played the "why" game

reducing every explanation to a story 

a reason why. Every explanation reduced down to "because I like it"

because it's "good".

Hi Ron

Mythos has power - no argument
Observation is cool - no argument

Did I get your point ?
