Abstract
Sometimes as questions. What does the word mean? What does the phrase mean? What does the sentence mean? What do you mean? Do you mean what your words mean? Do your words mean what you mean? Do you mean what your words mean but not what your phrases mean? Or do you mean what your words mean and what your phrases mean but not what your sentences mean? Or do you mean what your sentences mean but not what your words mean but what your phrases mean? Or do you mean what your sentences mean but not what your phrases mean but what your words mean? Or do you mean you mean what your sentences mean but not what your words and not what your phrases mean? Or do you mean that you mean what some of your words and all of your phrases but not your sentences mean? Sometimes as questions. Is there more than garbage in talk about necessity contingency possibility? Other than garbage in talk of intentions motives wants aims goals purposes? All kinds of questions any kind. What times is it? Where’s George? Do you have anything to drink? Was the resemblance between Ike and Daddy Warbucks an accident? Because it’s not the questions but how one thinks about it how one handles what one makes of it? Are there other minds? Yes. So pried at with simian fingers nothing interesting results for theory of some sort is what’s wanted.
